The Order of the Rising Sun (旭日章, Kyokujitsu-shō) is a Japanese order, established in 1875 by Emperor Meiji. The Order was the first national decoration awarded by the Japanese government,[2] created on 10 April 1875 by decree of the Council of State.[3][4] The badge features rays of sunlight from the rising sun. The design of the Rising Sun symbolizes energy as powerful as the rising sun[5] in parallel with the “rising sun” concept of Japan (“Land of the Rising Sun”).
Contributed to introducing Japanese culture to Croatia and Slovenia and promoting mutual understanding between Japan and Croatia as well as between Japan and Slovenia
