That's a good way to phrase it.

IIRC they only used the top 3 of those in Japan, one for the Emperor, one for high ranking princes and ministers, and one for lower ranking ministers (which included the most prestigious samurai). The top two are still used and used for foreign leaders too, like when they announced Hitler's death in 1945.
