Today, the Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Tokyo 2020) unveiled the design of the torch that will be used during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Torch Relay. The unveiling comes exactly one year before the flame is due to arrive from Greece at Matsushima Airbase in Miyagi Prefecture. The torch’s design, conceived by celebrated designer Yoshioka Tokujin, resembles that of a traditional Japanese “sakuramon” (cherry blossom emblem). It was created using the same aluminum extrusion technology employed in the manufacture of Japan’s shinkansen. ©Tokyo 2020
