今日、日本芸術院会館に受賞者が集まり、7/3に行われる授賞式の予行があった。
天皇陛下の拝謁を仰ぎ、別部屋では受賞作品展が企画されていて、
私を含む3人の恩賜賞受賞者には、陛下から6分間づつの御下問を賜れることになっている。
緊張する時間であることが、予行からも伝わった。
Today, the award winners gathered at the Japan Art Academy Hall for a preview of the award ceremony to be
held on July 3.
We were received by the Emperor of Japan, and in a separate room, an exhibition of award-winning
works was being planned.
The three Imperial Prize laureates, including myself, will be given six minutes each to answer questions from His Majesty.
I could tell from the preliminary that it would be a tense time.
