Kazufumi Shiraishi
About
Kazufumi Shiraishi is a Japanese novelist and the son of novelist Ichirō Shiraishi. The two are the only father-son pair to have both received the Naoki Prize, the father on his eighth nomination after numerous disappointments and the son on his second, for the 2009 Hokanaranu hito e . At his prize press conference, the son joked that he had always “hated” the Naoki because of the grief it had put his father through.
