This award is selected based on votes from the jewelry industry. Industry members expressed that Prime Minister Takaichi, who continues to shine with strong belief and dignity while opening up a new era as the first female Prime Minister of Japan, is highly deserving of this award. In anticipation that this award will bring further brightness and vitality to the industry, it was decided that she would receive a Special Award.
