Voting for the Oyako Award begins on June 1.
The Oyako Award was established in 2007 as a way to encourage people to reflect on the meaning of oyako—the bond between parent and child.
Over the years, recipients have included parent-child pairs from a wide range of fields, such as Kinya Sekine and Mari Sekine, Ryoko Moriyama and Naotaro Moriyama, Rentaro Mikuni and Koichi Sato, Tokiko Kato and Yae, and Tetsuya Chiba and Kozo Chiba.
The recipients of the Oyako Award 2025 were photographer Kazutetsu Morishita, who has spent many years documenting atomic bomb survivors, and his daughter Miho Morishita, who continues his work and legacy.
We invite you to cast your vote for the parent-child pair whose story, achievements, or way of life inspires you most.
