Yoko Tawada (Poet and Writer)［Japan］
Yoko Tawada freely transcends the borders and languages of Japan and Germany, creating a
steady stream of poetry and novels over the years. As a bilingual writer of high caliber, she is a
unique figure not seen before in modern Japanese literary history, and she vibrantly points to a new
direction for the future of world literature. Her writings have attracted a global following and have
been the focus of many international literary conferences and scholarly society meetings, helping to
energize international communication. A globetrotting bilingual writer, Tawada has pioneered a
new transboundary realm of literature and further freed Japanese literature from its confines. Her
cross-cultural literary activities have greatly helped to advance mutual understanding transcending
the walls of nations and cultures. We present her with the Japan Foundation Award in the hope that
she will continue to boldly blaze new paths through uncharted realms and to delight us with an ever
richer music of words.
Toshio Hosokawa (Composer)［Japan］ (c) Florian Thoss
Toshio Hosokawa is one of Japan’ s leading composers, pursuing his creative activities in mainly
Europe and Japan. Many of his works, such as Hanjo, Matsukaze, and Circulating Ocean were premiered
by some of the world’ s top artists, and continue to be performed today around the world as part of
the contemporary repertoire. He listens closely to the many different sounds of the natural world
and weaves them into a score together with the emotions that arise from futile situations. The shock
he felt from the Great East Japan Earthquake inspired him to compose two pieces in memory of the
victims, Threnody for Viola Solo and Meditation for orchestra, as well as another two that portray a
mother who has lost her child to the tsunami generated by the earthquake̶Klage for soprano and
orchestra and the opera Stilles Meer. Hosokawa’ s musical compositions, embodying messages that
Japanese must never forget, have been performed across the world, contributing to the
advancement of mutual understanding. We are awarding him with the Japan Foundation Award in
anticipation of his further contributions in the years to come.

Spanish-Japanese Cultural Center of the University of Salamanca［Spain］
The University of Salamanca, celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2018, has long served as one of the
world’s leading centers of scholarship and international exchange. It is home to the Spanish-Japanese
Cultural Center of the University of Salamanca, which was established in 1999 by inspired by the visits of
Emperor and Empress of Japan, has played a central role in the maintenance and strengthening of
Japanese-Spanish relations since its establishment. Throughout the year, the Spanish-Japanese Cultural
Center carries out many high-quality exchanges and other activities focused on Japan’
s culture, language,
history, and contemporary society, including Japan Culture Week, a diverse program of activities that help
to spread Japanese culture. These and other projects have earned the Center high acclaim both
domestically and internationally. For many years, the Spanish-Japanese Cultural Center has promoted
academic and cultural exchange in ways that have advanced the bonds of friendship between Japan and
Spain, and mutual understanding in the international community, making a contribution highly deserving
of the Japan Foundation Award. We bestow this award with the hope that the Spanish-Japanese Cultural
Center will continue to flourish for many years to come.
Recipient of the Japan Foundation Special Award 2018
Masahiko Tsugawa (Actor) [Japan]
The late Masahiko Tsugawa served as the chair of the“Beauty of Japan”Comprehensive Project Advisory
Panel, a committee formed by the Cabinet Office to study measures for globally communicating the Japanese
people’
s aesthetics and values in ways contributing to international goodwill and world peace. In his role as
the panel’
s chair, Tsugawa advocated the pursuit of activities for enhancing Japan’
s presence in the
international community through the power of culture, underscoring Japan’
s richly diverse values, and
advancing world peace. As a vehicle for accomplishing this mission, he proposed the hosting of a“Japan
Expo.”That vision came to fruition as Japonismes 2018, this century’
s largest celebration of Japanese arts and
culture. In November 2016, the Japonismes 2018 Comprehensive Promotion Board was set up to work out
the project details and oversee preparations. Appointed as Senior Chief for this board, Tsugawa provided
insightful advice across the entire project. He also conceived and championed“FUKAMI ‒ une plongée dans
l’
esthétique japonaise,”an exhibition that expresses the overall concept of Japonismes 2018 by exploring
Japanese aesthetics such as tradition vs. modernization, chaos vs. order, and eternity vs. a single moment. His
other contributions to Japonismes 2018 include suggesting and implementing ideas for publicity and
Nakajima Yosuke (smooth inc)
promotion. Sharing his expertise as a man of culture with profound knowledge of Japanese culture, Tsugawa
helped to make Japonismes 2018 a reality by proposing concrete actions for enhancing Japan’
s presence in
the international community and fostering world peace. In so doing, he made a distinguished contribution to
the advancement of cross-cultural understanding and goodwill among nations. It is for this contribution that
we confer to him the Japan Foundation Special Award.List of Past Recipients The Japan Foundation Awards The Japan Foundation Special Prizes The Japan Foundation Special Awards

Culture, Japanese Language, and Japanese Studies and Intellectual Exchange from 2008. The Japan Foundation Special Award is presented to individuals
