In particular, the Satsuma domain, which had effective control over part of the Ryukyu Kingdom as a de facto vassal state , called itself the \"Government of the Japanese Satsuma Ryukyu Kingdom Governorate\" in an attempt to show the international community that it was a government of an independent country separate from the Shogunate, and the creation and presentation of medals was part of that strategy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Expo, where high-ranking officials and diplomats from various countries gathered, was also a place for diplomatic battles where various maneuvers were carried out. The Satsuma Domain had been conducting such activities in Paris from a fairly early stage, prior to the Tokugawa shogunate. The domain's plenipotentiary ambassador, Iwashita Katahei , was encouraged by Count Charles de Montblanc to have the Order of the Ryukyus made in France and presented it to Napoleon III and other high-ranking French officials .\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\"\u003eIn response to this move by the Satsuma Domain, the shogunate quickly made plans to mint and issue the Order of the Aoi as its own medal, but before this could be realized, the shogunate collapsed with the Great Proclamation of the Restoration of Imperial Rule and the Meiji Restoration, and the Order of the Aoi remained an illusion.

[ 3 ] First of all, the shape and size are similar. The Satsuma Denshokan version has a diameter of 4 centimeters, the same as the Chevalier, the 5th grade of the Légion d'honneur. On the other hand, the Shoko Shuseikan version has a diameter of 5.2 centimeters, closer to the 5.3 centimeters of the Commander, the 3rd grade of the Légion d'honneur. They are also similar in that they are awarded to both civil and military officials. Hasegawa further considers the Shoko Shuseikan version to be a medium ribbon and the Satsuma Denshokan version to be a small ribbon, based on subtle differences in size, ribbon, and ring shape, and while he points out that the grade may have been the same as the Légion d'honneur, it may have been a 2nd or 3rd grade based on past French medals.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tmedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46416449962154,"sku":"","price":10099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/7186\/3722\/files\/2H5A4122.jpg?v=1749606673"},{"product_id":"japan-grand-cordon-of-the-order-of-the-chrysanthemum-full-replica-copper-hard-enamel","title":"Japan Grand Cordon of the Order of the Chrysanthemum – Full Replica (Copper + Hard Enamel)","description":"\u003ch3 data-start=\"71\" data-end=\"171\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"75\" data-end=\"169\"\u003eJapan Grand Cordon of the Order of the Chrysanthemum – Full Replica (Copper + Hard Enamel)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"172\" data-end=\"249\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"172\" data-end=\"249\"\u003eMuseum-Grade Reproduction | Imperial Symbolism | For Display \u0026amp; Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"282\" data-end=\"719\"\u003eThis is a finely crafted \u003cstrong data-start=\"307\" data-end=\"318\"\u003ereplica\u003c\/strong\u003e of the \u003cstrong data-start=\"326\" data-end=\"376\"\u003eGrand Cordon of the Order of the Chrysanthemum\u003c\/strong\u003e, the most prestigious and exclusive decoration awarded by the Japanese government.
