# Naoki-Preis

Der Naoki-Preis (japanisch 直木三十五賞 Naoki Sanjūgo shō, kurz 直木賞 Naoki-shō), benannt nach Naoki Sanjūgo, bildet das Gegenstück zum Akutagawa-Preis auf dem Gebiet der populären unterhaltenden Literatur (Taishū Bungaku).
Der ebenfalls von Kan Kikuchi gestiftete Preis wird seit 1935 halbjährlich an Nachwuchsschriftsteller vergeben. Der Preis wird von der japanischen Stiftung Nihon Bungaku Shinkōkai (日本文学振興会, „Förderverein für japanische Literatur“) verwaltet. Über die Preisvergabe entscheidet eine Kommission, die sich aus bekannten Schriftstellern zusammensetzt.
