@singadiscovery: 🇯🇵 Imperial Japanese Army Lieutenant — Ceremonial Dress Imperial Japanese Army officer’s formal ceremonial uniform (陸軍正装), commonly referred to as 陸軍大礼服, from the Shōwa period. This is formal/full dress rather than field or service uniform. The ensemble represents the highly traditional ceremonial dress worn by Imperial Japanese Army officers for important official and imperial occasions. The uniform features the characteristic: * 正帽 (Seihō) — formal officer’s peaked cap with ceremonial plume * 正衣 (Seii) — formal officer’s coat with gilt buttons and elaborate insignia * 襟章 (Erishō) — rank and branch collar insignia * 肩章 (Katashō) — formal shoulder insignia * 袖章 — decorative/rank sleeve insignia * 飾帯 (Shokutai) — ceremonial sash * 正袴 (Seiko) — formal trousers * 正装用軍刀 / 正剣 — sword intended for formal dress * 刀緒 / 正緒 — ceremonial sword tassel The Japanese Army regulations formally distinguished 正装 (Seisō), 礼装 (Reisō), 通常礼装, 軍装, and 略装. Formal dress was prescribed for occasions such as imperial ceremonies, audiences at the Imperial Palace, visits to the Imperial Shrine, Yasukuni ceremonies, appointments and promotions, receiving decorations, and other important official ceremonies. #ImperialJapaneseArmy #JapaneseArmy #大礼服 #陸軍大礼服 #ww2
