Tokyo 2020/Torch Relays

==Torches==
	
On 20 March 2019, the TOCOG unveiled the Olympic torch and Olympic Torch Relay emblem at a press conference in Tokyo. The designer of the torch, cauldron and lantern was Tokujin Yoshioka, a designer who works in the fields of architecture and contemporary art and specialises in the theme of nature.
The torch is inspired by the shape of the Olympic Flame and of the cherry blossom; widely considered Japan's national flower. The start of the relay also coincides with the start of the cherry blossom season in Japan. The housing was constructed from 30% recycled steel, previously used as part of temporary housing in the aftermath of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Its manufacturing utilises the same aluminium extrusion methods that was used to build the Shinkansen (bullet train). The torch housing altogether is produced from just one sheet of aluminium and weighs just 1 kilogram. The cauldron is designed similarly to the torch, and both it and the lantern are composed from recycled aluminium.
On 25 March 2019, the Paralympic torch and Paralympic Torch Relay logo were also unveiled. The Paralympic torch is near-identical to the Olympic torch, but is emblazoned with the Paralympic emblem and is Sakura pink as opposed to rose gold.

==Torch Relay Emblems==
	
The Olympic Torch Relay logo contains three vermilion rectangles, consistent with those from the event logo. The rectangles have a gradient effect towards the top-right edges to emulate the look of a flame. The gradient also implements a traditional method of woodblock printing or "ukiyo-e" called Fukibokashi. The ochre curvature represents the vast expanses of land that the torch and its flame will travel across during the relay.
The Paralympic Torch Relay logo is similar to its Olympic counterpart, but three shades of yellow and a different ochre curve.
