Winners of the 2nd 'Money and Investment Senryu Contest' Announced!

Gentosha Gold Online Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: 2F Benesse Building, 2-30-1 Sendagaya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Masataka Yamashita), which operates the web media for high-net-worth individuals, THE GOLD ONLINE, held a contest to express common experiences related to money through 5-7-5 syllable Senryu poems. At 'THE GOLD ONLINE Fes 2026' held on March 14, 2026, we announced the award-winning works, including the Grand Prize, which were selected by votes from attendees out of 30 finalists.

We received many wonderful entries filled with real-life experiences, ranging from deep concerns about asset protection and relatable investment failures to sharp irony regarding inheritance.
