Notes

Tokyo 2020 – pennant with the emblem and pictogram of the Torch Relay. The Olympic Torch Relay emblem is made up of three rectangular shapes that represent the dynamic movement of the torch flames. A woodblock printing technique (fukibokashi) was employed for colour gradation. The two colours used, vermillion and ochre, symbolise, respectively, love and earth, conveying energy, passion and a sense of celebration. Internal transfer
