This year’s top photojournalism award, presented by the Tokyo Press Photographers Association, went to 28-year old Mizuho Miyazaki, a staff photographer at the Sankei Newspaper. Miyazaki traveled to Fukushima earlier this year and captured a series of photographs she titled “Colors of Recovery” (復興の色) that depicts how far the region has come since the devastating earthquake and tsunami 7 years ago.
Miyazaki’s photographs, along with roughly 300 other notable entries that covered occurrences in 2018, will be on display at Mitsukoshi Department Store (7th floor) in Tokyo from December 18 – 24, 2018.
