墓所は静岡県静岡市清水区龍華寺に建立。大型で欧州風の墓所は評判となったが、芥川龍之介は「非常に悪趣味」と評しました。(この影響で自身の墓碑はシンプルなものとなった)

The Great Literary Master・ Takayama Chogyu 3


 (3)  The Chogyu Prize (Literary Award)

(Literary Award)
    After his death, the Kokuga Sosaku Kyokai recognized Chogyu's deep knowledge of Japanese art and established the Chogyu Prize (Literary Award)as an award given at the association's exhibitions. In 1958, the Board of Education of Tsuruoka City, his hometown, established the Takayama Chogyu Prize Award to honor the great achievements of Chogyu and to improve local culture. The award is given to individuals and organizations that have contributed to the improvement of local culture.
   His grave was built at Ryukaji Temple, Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The large, European-style tomb was well-received, but Ryunosuke Akutagawa called it ``in very bad taste.'' (His gravestone was made simple due to this influence.) (To be continued)
