TracA Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Hi Tony, The OP also posted this on the War Relics Forum, and Akira Komiya provided a very nice response. To summarize his response: "...this is a badge of the Great Japan Buddhist Philanthropic Association Foundation, which is not Nichren Sect but the Honganji Sect of Joudoshinshu Buddhism." Center of the badge says "Diligence, Insignia Third Class". The box says "Ordinary Insignia", and Akira speculates that it might not be original to the badge. The single kanji on the obverse means "Compassion". Again, none of the above is "my work"; it all comes from Akira Komiya. Take care, Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
