Beautiful bronze table medal made by the Japan Mint.
Inscribed 'Appreciation for Long Service, Junior 3rd Rank and 1st Decorated Rank, Nakayama Fukuzou. Showa 53 [1978]
October, from the Nakayama family.'
Nakayama Fukuzou (1887-1978) was a famous politician who served for many years in the Diet. His wife,
Masa, was the first
woman appointed to the Cabinet of Japan in 1960. His sons and a grandson are also politicians.
It appears that this medal was commissioned by the Nakayama family upon Fukuzou's death. The obverse shows the
Japanese Diet building and there are imperial mums and cherry blossoms on the border.
