== Information ==
The Japan Prize consists of a certificate, a commemorative medal and a cash award of ¥50 million (about US$600,000). No discrimination is made as to nationality, occupation, race, or gender. Only living persons may be named. Every November, the Japan Prize Foundation selects two fields for the award according to current trends in science and technology. The nomination and selection process takes about one year. The laureates, one from each field, are announced in January.
The prestigious prize presentation ceremony is held in the presence of Emperor of Japan Akihito and Empress Michiko. According to his book ''Dancing Naked in the Mind Field'',〔Kary Mullis. Dancing Naked in the Mind Field. 1998, Vintage Books〕 Kary Mullis, 1993 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, addressed Empress Michiko as ''sweetie'' when being awarded the prize in 1993 for the development of the polymerase chain reaction. The events are also attended by the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the President of House of Councilors, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, foreign ambassadors to Japan and about a thousand other distinguished guests, including eminent academics, researchers and representatives of political, business and press circles.〔(The Japan Prize Foundation )〕 The 2014 Japan Prize Presentation Ceremony was held on April 23 at the National Theatre in Tokyo.〔(2014 Japan Prize Presentation Ceremony )〕
