DarthZealous Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Does anyone know who this Japanese lady is who received the Order of the Paulownia Flowers? Until I saw this, I was not aware women in Japan were eligible for honours except the Orders of Culture, of the Precious Crown and of the Scared Treasure.

PREM Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Hi, probably this is Chikage Oogi (real name Hiroko Hayashi) , - actress and politician, awarded in 2010. Edited October 29, 2019 by PREM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthZealous Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Thank you Prem! You are quite right. Turns out she received the Rising Sun in 2003, and the Paulownia Flowers in 2010. Edited October 29, 2019 by DarthZealous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order of Sacred Treasure was accessible also to women only from 1919. Order of Rising Sun and Paulownia Flowers has also been accessible to women since May 2003.
