Dazai Osamu Prize

Dazai Osamu Prize

The Dazai Osamu Prize (太宰治賞) is a Japanese literary prize named for novelist Dazai Osamu (1909–1948).

The prize was established in 1965 by the Chikuma Shobo publishing company, discontinued in 1978, and resumed again in 1999 with co-sponsorship of the Mitaka, Tokyo, municipal government. It is awarded annually to an outstanding, previously unpublished short story by an unrecognized author; the winner receives a commemorative gift and a cash award of 1 million yen.
