Tokyo Olympiad 1964-2020

  • Photographer
    Masahiro Ito, Japan

The 18th Olympic Games was held in Tokyo in 1964.
And then, The Olympics will take place at Tokyo again in 2020.

During about 50 years, Japan became a rich country in economically and materially.
However, we've lost the richness of heart in return for those obtained.

Even if a long time has passed, athletic facilities at that time continue in existence,
and new facilities will build in a vacant site for the next Tokyo Olympics.

These showed me that the richness of the heart can be obtained by continuing and
challenging toward own goal.

Masahiro Ito (1983- ) was from Shiga, and lives in Tokyo, Japan.
