Name: Akegarasu Haya Prize
Art: 
The Prize was established in memory of Akegarasu 
Haya (1877-1954), one of the famous thinkers in 
modern Japan, who was born in Matto. His works 
on religion and philosophy exerted a great influ-
ence on Japanese culture in the first half of this 
century, bridging the gap between the East and the 
West.
The prize was also established to contribute, 
through the essay contest, to the spiritual 
development of the people living in a time when 
material abundance obscures our spiritual lives.
The essay can be on almost any branch of huma-
nities, including religion, philosophy, history, li-
terature and education, and, where possible, should 
indicate the way to the future for us who live in the 
age of uncertainty. It should be noted that, in the 
second section, the essays should propose practical 
ideas and should be concerned with the education 
of young people who will be the support and dri-
ving force of the world in the 21st century.
