148 - Order of the Rising Sun, Fourth Class, Japan, Established in 1875 under Emperor Meiji, the Order of the Rising Sun is Japan’s first national order of merit, awarded for distinguished civil and military service. This Fourth Class example features a badge with fully gilded rays arranged symmetrically around the red enamelled solar disc, mounted on the chest ribbon with rosette—a distinctive feature introduced in 1886 exclusively for this grade of the order. The piece is notable for its very good state of preservation: the enamel on the solar disc has retained its original lustre and colour, with no visible chips or cracks, while the gilded finish on the rays remains even, with no significant wear to the relief. The ribbon retains its original texture and colour, and the rosette is complete and securely attached, with no signs of later restoration or repair. The example is presented in its original lacquered wooden case, d=45 mm
