The is an order presented by the Japanese government. Established in 1888 during the Meiji Restoration as the highest award in the Order of the Rising Sun; however, since 2003 it has been an Order in its own right.〔Japan, Cabinet Office: (Decoration Bureau )〕 The only grade of the order is , which ranks higher than the Order of the Rising Sun but lower than the Order of the Chrysanthemum. Traditionally, the order has been conferred upon eminent statesmen, former prime ministers and senior cabinet ministers, diplomats and judges. It may be conferred posthumously, and is the highest regularly conferred honor in the Japanese honors system. Awards are not made annually; only 20 individuals have been decorated with the order since 2003: 16 Japanese (three posthumously), three Americans (one of Japanese descent, United States Senator Daniel Inouye), and one Indian (former Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh).〔Japanese Wikipedia article〕 == Insignia ==
The ''badge'' for the Order is a gilt cross with white enameled rays, bearing a central emblem of a red enameled sun disc surrounded by red rays, and with three paulownia blossoms between each arm of the cross. It is suspended from three enameled paulownia leaves on a sash in red with white border stripes, and is worn on the right shoulder. The ''star'' for the Order is the same as the badge, but without the paulownia leaves suspension. It is worn on the left chest.
