「アジアのノーベル賞」と呼ばれるマグサイサイ賞に宮崎駿監督が選ばれました。
Japanese animation master Miyazaki Hayao has won this year's Ramon Magsaysay Award, also known as "Asia's Nobel Prize." He is being recognized not only for his film making, but also for his lifelong commitment to illuminating the human condition and inspiring the imagination of children.
The foundation praises Miyazaki for tackling complicated topics like environmental protection, peace advocacy and women's rights. It credits the director for using his art to make these issues comprehensible to children.
As co-founder of Studio Ghibli, Miyazaki's films have been shown around the world. They include "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" and "My Neighbor Totoro."
In March this year, he won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for "The Boy and the Heron." He previously won the prize with "Spirited Away" in 2003.
Miyazaki's films often feature children and female protagonists who confront challenges. His works are also known for their deep reverence for nature, and profound warnings against human arrogance.
The Ramon Magsaysay award is given every year to individuals and groups for tackling challenges in development in Asia.
The award ceremony is scheduled for November 16th in Manila.

ウィキペディアで「マグサイサイ賞」について調べてみたところ、「この賞は、1957年3月17日に当時の現職大統領ラモン・マグサイサイが航空機事故で死亡したのを受け、同年4月、ニューヨークのロックフェラー兄弟財団の出資で発足した」とありました。（emu）
