Date: July 17, 2007 | Discussion: No Comments

Tetsushi Suwa has won the Akutagawa Prize for his first novel Asatte no hito (”The person of the day after tomorrow”). The semiannual literary prize is one of Japan’s most prestigious book awards, and was established in 1935 in memory of Ryunosuke Akutagawa to celebrate new and rising talent.

Earlier this year Nanae Aoyama won the same prize for her novel Hitori Biyori.
