The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star is a distinguished recognition awarded by the Japanese government to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the nation or the public interest.

It is with the greatest honor and gratitude that I receive this prestigious award. I believe this recognition is a testament to the dedication of the entire Fujifilm group.
