JAPAN: AR medal, Japanese Red Cross Society (Nippon Sekijujisha), Women's Membership medal, with original ornate ribbon of issue, Unc, ex Joseph E. Lang Collection. The forerunner of the Japanese Red Cross Society, the Hakuaisha (Philanthropic Society) was founded in 1877 by Court Tsunetami Sano, to help those who were wounded in the Satsuma Rebellion earlier that year. Japan signed the Geneva Convention in 1886 and in the following year, the Hakuaisha changed its name to the Japanese Red Cross Society (Nippon Sekijujisha). It was recognized as such by the International Committee of the Red Cross on September 2, 1887. This silver medal was established in 1888 and comes in five classes: Member, Special Member, Life Member, Golden Special Member and Honorary Member.The medal features a paulownia (Kiri crest) wreath to the right and left of the Red Cross emblem, with a phoenix O-tori below, all surrounded in a pearled border on obverse, and Meiji nijuichinen (Meiji year 21 [1888]) at top, and Nihon sekijujisha (Japanese Red Cross Society) below on reverse.
