JAPAN: AR medal, Medal of Honor (hosho), with three silver clasps dated March 9 Showa 18 (1943), April 28 Showa 19 (1944), July 5 Showa 21 (1946), dark blue ribbon and pin, in lacquered case with gold lettering, Unc, ex Joseph E. Lang Collection. Medals of Honor are medals awarded by the Emperor of Japan. They are awarded to individuals who have done meritorious deeds and also to those who have achieved excellence in their field of work. The Medals of Honor were established on December 7, 1881, and were first awarded the following year. Several expansions and amendments have been made since then. The medal design for all six types is the same, bearing the stylized characters "hosho" on a gilt central disc surrounded by a silver ring of cherry blossoms on the obverse; only the colors of the ribbon differ. If for some reason an individual were to receive a second medal of the same ribbon color, then a second medal is not issued, but rather a new bar is added to their current medal. The dark blue ribbon was first awarded in 1919 to individuals who have made exceptionally generous financial contributions for the well-being of the public.
