Tokyo 2020 Olympic Torch

Tokyo 2020 Olympic Torch

Official 2020 Tokyo Olympics torch designed by Tokujin Yoshioka and inspired by Japanese cherry blossoms, with a fluted design featuring five petal-shaped columns around the tip, with the "Tokyo 2020" wreath emblem and Olympic rings on the front, finished in a 'sakura' rose-gold color, 71cm long, housed in original storage cylinder.

***The Olympic flame was lit in a traditional ceremony in Olympia, Greece, on March 12, 2020. The following day the Hellenic Olympic Committee announced that the remainder of the relay would be cancelled in an attempt to contain the spread of Coronavirus. The handover ceremony took place at Panathenaic Stadium in Athens on March 19th, and the flame was subsequently flown to Japan, where it remained lit for a year in anticipation of the postponed Games. The relay resumed in Japan in March 2021 and was completed with the opening ceremony on July 23, 2021.
