The
Order of the Sacred Treasure (瑞宝章, Zuihōshō?) is a
Japanese Order, established on January 4, 1888 by
Emperor Meiji of Japan. It is awarded in eight classes (from 8th to 1st, in ascending order of importance). It is generally awarded for long and/or meritorious service and considered to be the lowest of the Japanese orders of merit (
hosho).
Originally a male-only decoration, the order has been made available to women since 1919; it is awarded for both civil and military merit, though of a lesser degree than that required for the conferment of the
Order of the Rising Sun. Unlike its
European counterparts, the order may be conferred posthumously.
The
insignia of the order incorporates symbols for the
three imperial treasures: the
Yata Mirror, so sacred that not even the Emperor is allowed to look at it; the
Yasakani Jewel, which is made of the finest
jade; and the
Emperor's personal Sword.
The badge for the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth classes is a
Maltese cross, in
gilt (1st, 3rd and 4th classes), gilt and silver (5th class) and silver (6th class), with white enameled rays (representing the sword). The central disc is blue, bearing an eight-pointed silver star (representing the mirror), surrounded by a wreath with red-enameled dots (representing the jewel). The badge is suspended on a ribbon in light blue with a yellow stripe near the border, worn as a sash on the right shoulder by the 1st class, as a necklet by males of the 3rd class, on the left chest (the ribbon folded into a triangle) by the 4th to 6th classes (with a
rosette for the 4th class). For females of the 3rd to 6th classes, the ribbon is a bow worn on the left shoulder (with a
rosette for the 4th class).
The
star for the
first and second classes is similar to the badge as described above, but effectively with
two sets of Maltese cross, one in
gilt and one placed diagonally in silver. It is worn on the left chest by the 1st class, on the right chest (without any other insignia) by the 2nd class.
The
badge of the
seventh and eighth classes is an eight-pointed silver medal, partially
gilded for the 7th class, with representations of just the mirror and the jewel. The badge is suspended on a ribbon, again in light blue with a yellow stripe near the border, worn by men on the left chest (the ribbon folded into a triangle). For women, the ribbon is a bow worn on the left shoulder.
The order after the 2003 reform
In 2003 the lowest two classes of the Order were abolished. Moreover, the badges of the Order will from now on be suspended from three white-enamelled
paulownia leaves (not
chrysanthemum leaves as the Decoration Bureau page claims).
