The "Gochokuyusha" refers to copies or records of the "Imperial Rescript to Soldiers and Sailors" (commonly known as the "Military Rescript"), which Emperor Meiji bestowed upon the Army and Navy. This important instructional document served as a spiritual guideline for military personnel, emphasizing the five virtues of "loyalty, courtesy, valor, integrity, and frugality," and clarifying the Emperor's supreme command. It was given directly to the military by the Emperor in his capacity as the Supreme Commander, without the countersignature of a minister. According to the database "The World and Japan," it was bestowed on January 4, 1882 (Meiji 15). I found this while decluttering.
