Japan - Russia 1904-1905 WAR MEDAL
The medal was created on 31 March 1906 for the members of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy who participated in the war against Russia. The war between the Russian and Japanese Empires grew from their rival ambitions, especially in Korea and Manchuria. The victory of the Japanese shocked the western world, punctured the myth of European invincibility and contributed to military weakness and revolution in Russia and imperial ambition in Japan and Germany, all with eventually disastrous consequences

CHINA INCIDENT WAR MEDAL
The medal was created on 27 July 1939, amended in 1944 and abolished in 1946. The mountains, clouds and waves are representative of northern China, central China and the Yellow Sea as the medal was awarded to Japanese military leaving for China which had been invaded and partly occupied by Japanese forces. As war was never declared, the Japanese referred to the large-scale hostilities with great delicacy as an ‘incident’.

Showa Enthronement Medal
The medal was created by Imperial Edit on 1 August 1928 awarded on 10 to 15 November of that year to those who attended the ceremonies of the accession in Kyoto and elsewhere and to those who officiated or assisted at them. Emperor Hirohito reigned from 1926 to 1989, the longest reign of any Japanese emperor. The reign of Hirohito saw great changes in Japanese society, from being titular head of a militaristic and expansionary regime and endowed with divine status to constitutional monarch of a modern consumer society. There was a strong body of opinion in 1945 in favour of trying the Emperor for war crimes but the need for stability in Japanese society and the view that he had exercised influence for moderation in very limiting circumstances saw that eventuality avoided. A fine example of an historic medal that is becoming increasingly scarce.
