Kenji Ekuan was also responsible for other design classics, including the Yamaha VMAX motorbike and the Narita Express airport train.
Ekuan, a former Buddhist monk, designed the funnel shaped soy sauce bottle, with red top in 1961.
The design, first used by Japanese food company Kikkoman,
became known internationally as the craze for Japanese food swept around
the world.
Ekuan said he wanted to design the bottle because he
remembered his mother having to pour soy sauce from a big half-gallon
bottle when he was a child, AP news agency reported.
He was the recipient of several awards, including the
prestigious Italian design prize the Golden Compass Award which he
received last year
