The award is being presented in cooperation with Handelsh gskolans Japan Institut The European Institute of Japanese Studies , Yasuragi Hasseludden, Judiska Teatern Jewish Theater , stasieninstitutet East Asia Institute and Nyteboden.

In this collection is also included the first 29 poems of Aniara, The Song about Doris and Mima . The atomic bombs in Japan, followed by the construction of the world s first H bomb in 1953, had a big impact in the creation of the Aniara songs.
