WW2 Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure 5th Class Full Size Medal In Case With Rosette

The Order of the Sacred Treasure is a Japanese honor established in 1888 and awarded for long and meritorious service. This example represents the 5th Class rank, which is distinguished by a silver radiating star with a central mirror motif, surrounded by blue and white enamel rays. The medal is suspended from a white ribbon with blue edges, reflecting traditional Japanese design. This offering includes the full-size medal, original presentation case, and the corresponding rosette, which signifies its 5th Class status when worn on civilian dress. The case is constructed from black lacquered wood with gilt characters on the lid, consistent with period styling.

The Order of the Sacred Treasure was awarded to both military and civilian recipients in recognition of dedication and distinguished service to the Japanese Empire, particularly during the early to mid-20th century.
