High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Gensui (also frequently translated as Field marshal) was the highest title in the prewar Imperial Japanese Military. The term gensui, which was used for both the Imperial Japanese Army and the Imperial Japanese Navy, was at first a rank held by Saig? Takamori as the Commander of the Armies in 1872. However in May 1873 Saig? was 'demoted' to General, with gensui thereafter no longer a rank as such, but a largely honorific title awarded for extremely meritorious service to the Emperor - thus similar in concept to the French title of Marshal of France. While gensui would retain their actual ranks of general or admiral, they were entitled to wear an additional enamelled breast badge, depicting paulownia leaves between crossed army colour and naval ensign under the Imperial Seal of Japan. They were also entitled to wear a special samurai sword of a modern design on ceremonial occasions.
