Order of the Rising Sun Cases With Two Column Inscriptions

[TracA]

Greetings,

 

Below I have two Order of the Rising Sun Meiji/Taisho lacquered cases, on the left for a 7th class and on the right for an 8th class. 

 

For those of you willing to indulge me, I have some questions:

 

• From the research that I’ve done, it appears that such inscriptions only occur on 8th and 7th class cases. Is this correct?
• Are there known time coordinates for such Order of the Rising Sun cases with two column inscriptions?
• Are two column inscriptions known only for Rising Suns, or are they known for other orders, such at the Golden Kite or Precious Crown?

 

As always, thank you.

Cases for foreigners of 3rd-6th classes also have two column inscriptions.

These were in use until 1930s.

 

Best,
