JAPAN: brass medal (190.51g), 66mm brass medal for the Great Japan Youth Federation (Dai Nippon Rengo Seinendan) 10th Anniversary Distinguished Service Medal, building of the Federation, with text on tablet referring to the founding of the organization on November 22, 1920 (Taisho 9) // Japanese text "Commemorating the 10th Anniversary of Assumption of Office" at top, "November, Showa Year 5 (November 1930)" at center, and "Great Japan Youth Federation" at bottom, with original paulownia wood box (hako) with gold lettering and handwritten inscription "Youth Group Leader" (Seinen dancho) / "Commemorative Gift" (Kinenhin) / name of recipient, "Kaji Josui Koji", which is likely a posthumous name (known as a kaimyo), which is a Buddhist name given to a person after their death with title "Koji" added to the end of a posthumous name for a lay Buddhist man; it roughly translates to "devout layman" or "gentleman scholar," indicating the person lived a virtuous life without becoming a formal monk; the handwritten text on the back of the box reads "November, Showa 5 (1930)" / "Gamo District Youth Association Leader" / "From Mr. Kotaro Yamamoto" / "Donated" / "Nakano Village" / "Youth Association Leader, Jinzaburo Kouo", a very rare medal, AU. This is a commemorative medallion issued by the Great Japan Youth Federation. The organization was a centralized umbrella group for youth clubs in Imperial Japan, and this medal marks the 10th anniversary of its official reorganization or the appointment of a specific leadership milestone in November 1930.
