The Mishima Yukio Prize (三島由紀夫賞, Mishima Yukio Shō) is a Japanese literary award presented annually. It was established in 1988 in memory of author Yukio Mishima.[1] The Mishima Yukio Prize is explicitly intended for work that "breaks new ground for the future of literature," and prize winners tend to be more controversial and experimental than winners of the more traditional Akutagawa Prize.[2] It is awarded in the same annual ceremony as the Yamamoto Shūgorō Prize, which was established by the same sponsor in 1988 to recognize popular writing and genre fiction.[3]
