The awards are presented to outstanding Americans and Japanese who have continuously contributed their efforts toward promoting better understanding of cultural and economic issues between the peoples of the United States and Japan. Notable past recipients include President Jimmy Carter and former Georgia Govs. Joe Frank Harris and George Busbee.
