Housewife starts internet petition pushing for Nobel Peace Prize to be awarded to Japanese people Naomi Takanosu, a 37-year-old housewife living in Japan’s Kanagawa prefecture, is campaigning that the Nobel Peace Prize be given to the people of Japan specifically for the preservation of Article 9 in Japan’s post-war “pacifist” Constitution, which prohibits the country to take up arms against any nation or entity except in self-defense.
