The new Kenneth B.

Articles eligible for this prize are evaluated for their contribution to supporting the JJS mission of promoting the highest-quality scholarship through publication of empirical and interpretive work on Japan.\u00a0 Consideration is given to efforts to contextualize specialized research findings in ways that articulate their importance for the wider field of Japan studies.<\/p>\n

Kenneth B. Pyle<\/a> and his Japan studies colleagues at the University of Washington established JJS in 1974 through the generosity of the Japanese government\u2019s million-dollar grant to the university.\u00a0 The UW faculty sought an innovative and enduring testament to the importance of this grant for the study of Japan around the world.<\/p>\n

Ken served as Editor from 1974 to 1986 and subsequently in other positions with JJS, and he has been a regular contributor to JJS pages, most recently in 2020.\u00a0 Ken\u2019s scholarship and teaching span more than 55 years, and his contributions to the study of Japan are profound.\u00a0 The journal he helped to establish looks forward to building this prize as a prestigious honor for both the founding editor and those engaged in new and exciting research on Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
