About the Exhibition

The 1964 Olympics in Tokyo was not only a sporting event, but also a major design project involving an all-out effort by postwar Japanese designers. Kamekura Yusaku, Hara Hiromu and Kono Takashi designed the posters; invitation letters and certificates of merit; medals; and badges and emblems, respectively. The tickets, brochures and information maps were also created by leading designers. This show follows how designers tackled the Olympic project.
