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".
