The Golden kite
Akin to the Iron Cross of Imperial Germany, the Order of The Golden Kite was awarded for outstanding bravery in war and was only issued to Japanese servicemen. It was established in February 1890. Golden Kite awardees were treated with a high degree of respect both within the military(they had special salutes )and in civilian life. They also enjoyed a lifetime pension.In Japanese, it is referred to as kinshi kunsho, where kin means gold, shi means kite and kun-sho means meritorious deed award.
It was officially abolished by the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers of Occupied Japan in 1947 after WW2.
