Kenji Takenaka crafted the red gradient for Music Awards Japan

They say "The red gradient employs the traditional Ukiyo-e shading technique called 'Fukibokashi.' It was crafted by Kenji Takenaka, the fifth-generation artisan of Takenaka Mokuhan in Kyoto.

The logo symbolizes igniting the future of music worldwide, featuring the letter 'M' from 'MUSIC' represented through a musical staff."

Someday in the near future the red gradient will be called "The Kenji's Red".
