It has been one year until the opening of the Tokyo Paralympic Games, which was postponed to next year, but the official posters for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, which were created by artists from Japan and overseas, have started selling on the 24th.

Up to now, official posters have been produced for each tournament, and at the Tokyo Games, 12 types of Olympics and 8 types of Paralympics were made by domestic and foreign artists.

Sales were postponed due to the new coronavirus, but the opening of the Tokyo Paralympic Games began on the 24th of a year, and a special section was set up at a bookstore in Tokyo Ginza.

Of these, the Paralympic poster designed by photographer Mika Ninagawa expresses the feeling that "para athletes are cool", using Renji Toriumi, a wheelchair basketball player, as a subject.

In addition, Shoko Kanazawa, an active calligrapher for Down's syndrome, has a dynamic letter "sho" on the Olympic poster, which puts the thought of "getting a lot of gold medals". I am.

In addition, there are posters by Asao Noro, the creator of the official emblem, and Naoki Urasawa, a manga artist.

In addition, the sale of goods such as T-shirts and postcards featuring poster designs has started, and can be purchased at official shops and the Internet in the future.

Mr. Asao Noro, who worked on the poster, said, "It is difficult for people to move in the new corona, but I want the work to fly to various places."
