The Order of the Peach Blossom is an order of the Tenshukyō Shogunate. It was created on 2 October 2018, as the Shogunate's first order. The order was named for the peach blossom, as peach trees are found commonly in the Georgia area where the Shogunate exists. The name is utilized as a local reference to the place the cherry blossom holds in Japanese culture, as the two blossoms are very similar in appearance.
There are four classes of the order:
- Medal which is denoted by the medallion of the order, suspended from a peach-colored drape ribbon.
- Seal which is denoted by the wear of the seal, which is a medallion suspended from a peach-colored necklet.
- Star and Seal which is denoted by the wear of the star of the order and the seal, which is a medallion suspended from a peach-colored necklet.
- Grand Cordon which is denoted by the wear of the regalia of the rank of Star and Seal, accompanied by a peach-colored sash. This rank of the order is the highest honor citizens of the Shogunate can attain.

Medals of the Order
Unlike all other awards for the Shogunate's orders, the medal of the order is usually conferred for personal achievement, extraneous from concerns of the Shogunate. The medal was developed for use by Shogun Devon much in the same way that the Empire of Agber's Order of Arlene I operated, as an on-the-spot form of recognition at events where the Shogun and his retinue frequent in their era garb, such as Renaissance Fairs. As of 17 June 2020, 37 medals have been awarded. As the record-keeping for this level is practically non-existent, there is no official list of recipients.
