The Japan Medal was established in 2020 and is presented by each Section as a commemorative gift to IEEE Domestic Members when they are elevated to Senior Members. It features a Japanese historic icon and state-of-the-art technology in electrical engineering. The design is based on a portrait of Hiraga Gennai (licensed from the Central Library of Waseda University), pioneer of electrical engineering in Japan, and his invention, Elekiter. The Medal is manufactured by the Japan Mint, renowned for producing Japanese coins. The Medal utilizes "latent image" technology (where different characters are displayed from different angles), a feature originally developed for anti-counterfeiting of coins.
