Notes

Tokyo 2020, art posters created for the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games “Harmonised Chequered Emblem Study for Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games” by Asao TOKOLO. Asao Tokolo explains how he worked: “My designs for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic emblems are circles in ai (Japanese indigo), both composed of equal numbers of rectangles obtained by connecting the middle points of rhombuses, a pattern I named Kumi-ichimatsu-mon. The original drawings for the designs were executed by hand, with their visual guidelines, tentative lines and traces of erased lines acting as projections of physicality.” Donated by the OCOG
