Shimada Prize
Appearance
The Shimada Prize was a biennial award bestowed jointly by the American National Museum of Asian Art and the Japanese Metropolitan Center for Far Eastern Art Studies for academic works in East Asian art history. It was established in honor of Japanese art historian Shūjirō Shimada in 1992, with the first prize bestowed in September 1993, shortly prior to Shimada's death the following year.[1][2][3] The winner of the prize received a $10,000 award from the Metropolitan Center, funded by the Harry G. C. Packard Collections Charitable Trust.[4] The prize has not been awarded since 2010.[2]
