Grand Cordon of the Order of the Paulownia Flowers
In 1888, Grand Cordon of the Order of the Paulownia Flowers was established
as the highest award in the Orders of the Rising Sun. However, it presently
serves as a different award. The medal features rays of sunlight radiating
from the rising sun, wreathed by Paulownia flowers. The attachment is also
shaped into a Paulownia flower.
