Grants for Humanities Research on Japan
In partnership with the National Institutes for the Humanities, we support the International Prize for Japan Studies, which honors researchers who have madeachievements in the field of humanities related to Japan overseas.
The prize will be awarded to researchers based overseas who have shown outstanding achievement in Japan-related scholarship in literature, language, history, ethnology, folklore studies, the environment and other fields related to the human culture studies and have made great contributions to the international development of Japanese studies.
By evaluating and honoring the achievements of researchers studying Japan abroad, we are able to promote Japanese studies. It also supports the achievement of mutual cultural understanding through academic understanding.
