Asia's first two Nobel Prize winners, in 1913 and 1930, were from India. Thereafter, among Asian countries, recognition of excellence at the Nobel level accorded to Japan has been truly inspiring. In the 67 years from 1949 up to now, this prize has been given to a Japanese 25 times. The largest number has been in physics - 11 in all, 5 in theory and 6 in experiments - followed by 7 in chemistry, 4 in medicine or physiology, 2 in literature, and 1 in peace.
