Professor Kuraishi received the award in recognition of his contributions to the development of the city's child and child care support measures, including serving as a member of the Nishinomiya City Child Care Council, as well as providing training for child care workers and advice on how to respond to child maltreatment and other cases over the years. The award was given in recognition of his contributions to the development of the city's child and support policies, including training for childcare workers and advice on responding to child abuse cases.

In his address, Mayor Ishii of Nishinomiya City said, "On behalf of the city's 480,000 citizens, I would like to express my gratitude to the recipients for their tremendous contributions. Nishinomiya has received high recognition from both within and outside the city as a city where people want to live and continue to do so, and has continued to develop as a core city in the Hanshin area. We will continue our efforts to develop Nishinomiya as an educational and residential city."

Professor Kuraishi commented on the award, "I believe that this award is due to the cooperation of everyone who has been working on childcare support measures for nearly 20 years. I would like to continue to be involved in the development of Nishinomiya City in relation to my efforts at the university."
