Kikuchi Kan Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kikuchi Kan Prize ( Japanese 菊池 寛 賞 , Kikuchi Kan Shō ) was set up in 1938 at the suggestion of the writer Kikuchi Kan and initially awarded annually for outstanding achievements and to honor older writers. The selection committee originally only included writers over 45 years of age, and only writers over 46 years of age were awarded. The awards were temporarily suspended during World War II and revived in 1952. With the resumption of awards, the number of categories was expanded to include art, film and other cultural achievements. The laureates will receive a watch and 1 million yen in prize money. The award is given to individuals as well as to institutions and organizations.
