This is a 1904–1905 Russo-Japanese War Medal, awarded to commemorate service during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), a pivotal conflict that established Japan as a rising military power in the early 20th century.
Obverse: The obverse side of the medal prominently features two crossed Japanese flags: the Imperial Chrysanthemum standard on the left and the Japanese national flag (Hinomaru) on the right.

Beneath the crossed flags is a stylized Paulownia leaf, which is another emblem of the Japanese government. 
Obverse legend: The bar across the top reads "戰役從軍記章" (Senyaku Jūgun Kishō), which translates to "War Medal for Military Service."
Reverse: The reverse of the medal contains an inscription in Japanese Kanji within a laurel wreath, a symbol of victory and honor. The inscription reads "明治三十七八年従軍記章" (Meiji 37-38th Year, Russo-Japanese War Medal), commemorating the years of the conflict (1904-1905).
