The Yamazaki-Teiichi Prize

Although the Nobel Prize medal was made of 24 carats firstly, it became the present 18 carats in order to bend by dropping on the ground. We also adopted 18 carats so that we heard this fact from SHIRAKAWA, a chairman of the prize steering committee and the Nobel Prize for chemistry winner in 2000.

１．Portrait
This portrait made the model deceased Teiichi Yamazaki's face of the 80s.

２．Character
This character is the language which meant creation and Yogorou Kato who is the late Teiichi Yamazaki's teacher was thinking as one of the most important things.
As for another feature, the character is just going to be unevenness with the pressure of a brush. This was proposed by the Shirakawa, chairman of the Prize steering committee.
