Japan Foundation Award

The Japan Foundation Awards honor individuals and organizations for significant contributing to "the enhancement of mutual understanding between Japan and other countries." Activities in an academic or cultural field have been presented by the Japan Foundation annually since 1973.[1] The awards help to further the mission of the foundation in language and culture.[2]
Two types of awards (the Japan Foundation Awards and the Japan Foundation Special Prizes) previously composed the Japan Foundation Awards. But these awards are integrated into “The Japan Foundation Awards” in three categories: "Arts and Culture", "Japanese Language", and "Japanese Studies and Intellectual Exchange" from 2008.
