This is the first time a UW faculty member has been awarded this prize, which comes with a cash award.<\/p>\n<p>Atkins was awarded the prize based on excerpts from his book-length translation of <em>Sh\u014dkenk\u014d<\/em> \u8549\u5805\u7a3f, a collection of 170 poems in classical Chinese by Zekkai Ch\u016bshin \u7d76\u6d77\u4e2d\u6d25 (1336-1405). Zekkai was a medieval Japanese Zen monk, abbot, and accomplished poet who lived in China for nine years at the beginning of the Ming dynasty. As adviser to shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, he was involved in the restoration of official relations between Japan and China in 1401. The selection committee noted that \u201cthe translation of these texts into English, along with the transcriptional work that accompanied them, constitutes both a prodigious scholarly effort and a milestone in studies of this genre and period.\u201d\u00a0 A leader in his field, Atkins also received the William F. Sibley Memorial Translation Prize by the University of Chicago in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of these translations and more information can be found in the link below.
