A photo exhibition showcasing the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and major domestic and international events around that time, as well as select photos of present-day Japan, will open Sunday in the run-up to next year's games.
The exhibition at the Tokyo International Forum features about 130 photos of the Olympic and Paralympic Games as well as key events that helped shape the world in the early 1960s.
Photos include shots of the old and new national stadiums, weightlifter Yoshinobu Miyake — Japan's first gold medalist at the 1964 Games — and spectators watching the marathon from the back of a truck, as well as pictures of old and present-day Ginza and Shinjuku.
