  "description": "Red is the most charged color in Japanese tradition. Kurenai (crimson) is the color of formal ceremony; entan (lead red) is the mineral pigment of ancient temples; akane (madder) is the organic dye worn by courtiers for a thousand years; shu (vermilion) is the lacquer of Shinto gates. Wada's catalog returns to red again and again because it is unavoidable — not aggressive, but authoritative. These palettes are for heritage brands, editorial mastheads, restaurant identities, and anywhere that needs conviction without cliché.",
