Nippon Life Insurance Award
Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2025 9:53 am
Our wish is to walk alongside our customers and continue to support their lives. Creatures in the natural world are also deeply connected to each other, passing on their lives to the future. We changed the theme last time because we wanted to preserve this life cycle forever. Last year's Excellence Award winner captured the expression of a baby monkey, conveying hope, anxiety, and other thoughts about the future, as well as the affection of a mother monkey for her child. This year too, please use your own unique perspective to depict "Steps Connected to the Future."
Futaoijima, located in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi remove background image Prefecture, is a small island floating in the Hibiki Nada Sea. When I returned to the port after touring the island, I met an elderly woman with her child, who told me that she was going to dry hijiki with her great-grandchildren, so I took a photo of her. Even on this quiet island, I can sense the changes in the natural environment. I will do my best to protect nature in my own way.
Judges' evaluation
The winner of the Excellence Award, which shows an old woman drying hijiki seaweed with her great-grandchild, conveys the artist's desire to pass this scene on to future generations. "The Return of the Salmon," with its beautiful salmon expression, also conveys the feelings of the people through the large fishing flags on the screen. "Momijiashi" also expresses the emotion of a parent hoping for their child's growth.
The winning photograph, taken spontaneously at a port on an island with a population of about 100, conveys a heartwarming and heartwarming atmosphere. It matches our desire to "pass on the rich nature and culture to children, and to foster the ability to live resiliently and a compassionate heart," and received widespread support in an internal vote.
Nippon Life Insurance has been creating "Nissay Forests" through employee-participation tree planting and cultivation since 1992, with the aim of "returning paper resources to the Earth with our own hands." Last year, the company also launched two environmental education programs for children, the "Nissay Forest Exploration Team," which conducts nature observations and forest conservation work in the forest, and the "Nissay Forest Classroom," which teaches the importance of forests at Nissay Life Plazas nationwide, with more than 1,400 participants.
