Entries are eligible for a wide range of literary genres, including prose-type works (novels, plays, critiques, essays, etc.) and short poem-type works (poetry, tanka, haiku, and willow) written in Japanese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standard size for prose-type works is between 10 and 100 pages on landscape A4 paper (vertical writing, 40 characters x 30 lines per page, font size 10-12 points), at least 5 poems, and at least 30 tanka, haiku, or other forms of poetry.

The award-winning works will be announced in September, and the award ceremony will be held in October together with the Kyoka Izumi Literary Award ceremony. The winner will receive a bronze mirror \u300cHachiryokyo\u300d decorated with a rabbit motif, named after Kyoka Izumi, as the official prize, and a cash prize of 300,000 yen as a supplementary prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that the 10 selection committee members are undisclosed is a concern,<\/a> but the number of genres that can be submitted is large, so why not take up the challenge if you are up to the challenge (details).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
