Congratulations to Professor Peter Kornicki who has been awarded the Japanese National Institutes of the Humanities International Prize in Japanese Studies.

Peter was delighted to be the first British prizewinner and 8th recipient of the prize:

“It is a great pleasure to be recognized in this way in Japan, and a great honour.”

Peter is looking forward to travelling to Japan with his wife in March to accept the prize in person. During his visit Peter will give a couple of lectures in Japanese, as well as enjoying the local hot spring resort.

Congratulations Peter!
