The two mouse ornaments Shimon Sakaguchi donated to the Nobel Prize Museum have a special significance:
“In recognition of the ethical principles that guide scientific research, I am honored to donate this handmade ornament to the Nobel Prize Museum. It was created by my mother many decades ago as a heartfelt reminder to uphold the spirit of animal welfare in my immunology work. A woman of great artistic talent with a passion for pottery and painting, she crafted this mouse ornament with great care and skill. Throughout my academic career, I have cherished this ornament and displayed it in my office at every institution where I have served. It now finds its rightful place among objects that celebrate the values and responsibilities of science.
In addition, I am honored to donate a second mouse ornament, which belonged to my wife, Noriko. Just as we have walked this path of science together, supporting one another as partners in both life and research, it is our sincere wish that these two mice remain together in the museum as a symbol of that enduring partnership.”
