Manchukuo 10-Year Foundation Anniversary
Japan Representative Group Badge.
Inscribed 'Sacred Clouds Cross Badge.'
I think this was worn by Japanese delegates
during a ceremony celebrating the formation
of Manchukuo. Since this nation was founded
in 1932, this is circa 1942.

The Manchukuo Empire lasted from 1932 to 1945. In that time a variety of groups
with a variety of purposes was formed. And in Japan the migration of so many people
to Manchuria to start a better life spawned a large propaganda effort by the
government, which led to many pro-Manchukuo groups being formed. As a result,
you can find a lot of badges and pins with the Manchukuo flag and other symbols
associated with that empire.
Still, some of them are quite rare and prized by collectors.
The medal above is from the collection of Michael Quigley.
