Photojournalist Shisei Kuwabara, who has spent many years confronting and documenting various social issues on the ground, has received the 76th Kumanichi Award.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations.

Bruce and I first met Mr. Kuwabara when he was serving as Chair of the International Exchange Committee of the Japan Professional Photographers Society (JPS). Our connection began when he invited me to join the committee as one of its members.

He also once participated as one of the photographers in the Oyako Photo Festival held at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan (FCCJ), where we exhibited his parent-child photographs taken in Minamata.

Thanks in part to Mr. Kuwabara’s warm personality, the members of that International Exchange Committee still gather regularly, exchanging information and maintaining our friendship. He remains one of our cherished colleagues.

We hope he will continue to be active on the front lines of journalism, never overlooking fleeting moments or the changes of our times.

Mr. Kuwabara, congratulations once again.
