Manchukuo orders were instituted in March 1934 on the occasion of the coronation of the Emperor Pu Yi. They were regulated by the Law Concerning Orders of Merit and Decorations from April 1934. The decorations closely follow the Japanese system of orders. All the decorations were designed and made in Japan, had the same classes and were awarded and worn in the same way as the Japanese orders. Most were conferred on Japanese royalty and nobility, Japanese advisors, military personnel and officials serving in Manchukuo. Very few are known to have been granted to foreigners.
