Japanese Order of the Rising Sun, Possible World War II Origin

Japan Order of the Rising Sun Medal, 7th Class. The Order of the Rising Sun, which has been issued since 1875, is awarded to military personnel and civilians alike. This likely conflict-era badge has a metal hook contained in a white-centered ribbon with a red stripe to each side. From this hangs a silver medal in the shape of three paulownia leaves with pink and green enameling on the front and a series of characters on the back, presumably the name of the recipient. The enameling over the leaves distinguishes the 7th Class badge from the 8th Class badge, which is plain.
