Akira Yoshizawa was given the Order of the Rising Sun, 5th class, award by Hirohito during what era in Japanese history?
Hirohito Hirohito (裕仁 , April 29, 1901 – January 7, 1989) was the 124th Emperor of Japan according to the traditional order of succession, reigning from December 25, 1926, until his death. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Akihito. In Japan, he is now referred to primarily by his posthumous name, Emperor Shōwa (昭和天皇 , Shōwa-tennō ) . The word "Shōwa" is the name of the era that corresponded with the Emperor's reign, and was made the Emperor's own name upon his death. The name Hirohito means "abundant benevolence".
Abe clan The Abe clan (安倍氏 , Abe-shi ) was one of the oldest of the major Japanese clans ("uji"); and the clan retained its prominence during the Sengoku period and the Edo period. The clan's origin is said to be one of the original clans of the Yamato people; they truly gained prominence during the Heian period (794-1185), and experienced a resurgence in the 18th century. Abe is also a very common Japanese surname in modern times, though not everyone with this name necessarily is descended from this clan.
