2nd Otomo no Yakamochi Literary Prize, 2nd Koshi no Kuni Poetry Award
The brilliance of Japan’s classical poetry collection, the Man’yoshu, as exemplified in the poems of Otomo no Yakamochi, the eighth-century governor of Etchu Province (present-day Toyama Prefecture), and the beauty of the prefecture, known historically as “Koshi no Kuni,” are commemorated in these two literary awards.
