Notes

Tokyo 2020, a traditional teapot featuring the Games emblem. In the 17th century, the feudal Nanbu-han rulers established the cast iron industry in their region, and this gave rise to Nanbu Tekki ironware. Several licensed products have been created for the Games using traditional methods, to promote Japanese culture and heritage. Donated by the OCOG
