The trophy was an initiative of the Chamber of Commerce of Brazil in Japan (CCBJ). The TMK is a member of CCBJ. The trophy represents a bonsai of cherry tree (sakura) because it`s one of the symbols of Japan. There is a yellow flower ipe in the center. This flower is very famous in Brazil and it symbolizes the Brazilians in Japan.

The materials chosen for the trophy (stainless steel, aluminum and iron) are used in the manufacture of train parts (the main market of the company since the foundation).
