This badge features a 16-petal sunflower, crafted from pure silk habutae using the traditional tsumami-zaiku technique known as marutsumami, and dyed with colored ink from Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, the only ink designated as a traditional craft. It expresses the desire to always be bright and generous, like a sunflower, and to illuminate the world. It makes a perfect gift for those currently in office, as well as those retiring.
If you specify a "registration number" when ordering, the number will be attached to a serial card and delivered to you.
