「国威発揚を文化を通じて行っていく」。さて、我が国のインチキ、 右翼のコマーシャルフォトグラファー杉本博司は天皇から文化勲章がもらえるかな〜~? "Promoting national prestige through culture". So, I wonder if that phony—that right-wing commercial photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto—will receive the Order of Culture from the Emperor?

芸術の秋が参りました。
もうすぐ「文化の日」がやってきて、文化勲章の受章者が発表されます。
東京国立近代美術館での個展を終えた杉本博司は、天皇から文化勲章を授与されることになる(菊から勲章がもらえる)のでしょうか?
私は、ほぼ間違いなくそうなるだろうと確信しています。なぜなら、彼が以前口にした、あの言葉があるからです:
「国威発揚を文化を通じて行っていく」。
The season of art is upon us.
“Culture Day” is fast approaching, and the recipients of the Order of Culture will soon be announced.
Having just concluded a solo exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, will Hiroshi Sugimoto be awarded the Order of Culture by the Emperor?
I am all but certain that he will be. The reason lies in those words he once spoke:
“Promoting national prestige through culture”

The third director, taking office in 2026, is Mr. KITAYAMA Koji. SUGIMOTO Hiroshi — a right-wing fool and a slave to the bulky, heavy, and unwieldy 8×10 camera @ National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo (aka the “broke” MOMAT).

Artificial intelligence is announcing the names of the individuals selected for the committee. This list is subject to change annually. Deliberations regarding candidates for the award—typically held around August—are conducted under strict confidentiality. Is this the list for the 2025 fiscal year, generated by AI?

The names of the committee members appointed to the Cultural Merit Selection Subcommittee (Bunka Kōrōsha Senkō Bunka-kai) are quietly published in the Official Gazette (Kanpō) under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) personnel announcements once the selection cycle concludes.
While the official roster for the most recent selection cycle is traditionally withheld by the Ministry from standard online council logs to protect selection integrity, the verified roster from the preceding term published in the official records includes the following prominent figures:
