Lidkiriyamaprize

As the Kiriyama Prize Manager, I wanted to create a virtual shelf where readers could find all of our previous winners and finalists -- all great books that will intrigue, entertain, educate, and/or enlighten readers who are interested in exploring other cultures.

I'm the manager of the The Kiriyama Prize. The Prize was established in 1996 to recognize outstanding books about the Pacific Rim and South Asia that encourage greater mutual understanding of and among the peoples and nations of this vast and culturally diverse region.
