Remarks

1. ↑ Meiyo Kyōju (名誉 教授) is occasionally rendered in German as "Professor emeritus". But in contrast to this title, which is automatically used on retirement, this is a special award only occasionally granted in Japan.
2. ↑ Since the imperial cultural order is not allowed to be associated with money allocations, in 1951 the distinction "person with special cultural merits" was introduced on a normal household basis; it is associated with an honorary salary. As a rule, this minor distinction is awarded first, then - not in every case - the cultural medal. Those who were awarded the Cultural Order before 1951 received the distinction of “person with special cultural merits” and the honorary salary retrospectively.
