[edit] ORDER OF THE AUSPICIOUS CLOUDS

Anyone know what this order is ? [1] Dowew 22:30, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

This page ( == Order of the Crysanthemum ==)

appears to contradict itself.  (And I can't figure out how to flag it such.)

It says The grand cordon is the highest possible honor a Japanese citizen could be awarded during his life time. Aside from the imperial household, only three grand cordons have been awarded to living citizens and eleven to the deceased.

Yet goes on to give a very lengthy list of living people who hold the Grand Cordon.

Only one of the people listed is Japanese, and he is an ex-prime minister! TinyMark 11:36, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Queen Elizabeth II

I removed the "Queen Elizabeth II of the Commonwealth realms" as "of the Commonwealth realms" is not one of her titles - see List of titles and honours of Queen Elizabeth II. She has a different title in each realm, but is known first and foremost as "Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom". In any case, this article is about a Japanese honour and does not require links to entirely unrelated (Commonwealth) subjects. TinyMark 11:33, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
