Shorai Foundation for Science and Technology

The Shorai Foundation for Science and Technology was established in March 1983 following receipt of an award granted to then-president and Harima founder, Sueyoshi Hasegawa by the Japanese government for the company’s contributions to the advancement of research and development on tall oil. Ever since, the foundation has actively promoted the advancement of science and technology, through subsidizing and encouraging research, study and international exchange.

"Shorai" roughly translates as "the wind blowing through pine trees"; phonetically similar to the word "shorai" which means "future" in Japanese, it symbolizes the foundation’s orientation to the future of technology and development of society.

Among the winning researchers are two Nobel Prize Laureates:

  • 1986 grant winner, Dr. Ryoji Noyori
    Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 2001
  • 1991 grant winner, Dr. Akira Suzuki
    Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 2010
