yes , cardboard tube. but put at this area easy to put on a wall. easy to 'see'. haha

[komsomol]

The cardboard tube is a japanese tradition. But what about chinese diplomas? The only chinese diploma I know is the two-pages cardboard DIN A6 booklet for sino-soviet freindship...

Japanese imperial orders have always fascinated me, wish i had more knowledge about them,

Japanese imperial orders have always fascinated me

Let`s not forget - these are documents for chinese orders

... sorry for the rude question but they are expensive?

Heavy stuff (like 1st and 2nd classes) sometimes will cost thousands of dollars (these are handsigned by the Emperor)
