By representing their experience of modernity as different from the West in their respective Olympic Games, Asian nations reveal much about the ambitions and anxieties of being an Asian host in the continuing western Olympic hegemony. This original work explores the encounter between ‘the East and the West’ by analyzing the deliberate self-presentational cultural diplomacy historically required of Asian Olympic hosts. Exploring the relationship between Modern Asia and the Olympic Games, it focuses on the forgotten history of the 1940 Tokyo Olympics to reveal the complex and fascinating encounter between Japan and the world in the 1930s. The book is the first full account of this encounter and draws substantially on Japanese sources hitherto unknown in the English-speaking world. It argues that this encounter sets the scene and the tone for later Asian involvement in the Olympic Movement. It includes chapters on: Imperial Commemoration and Diplomacy the Japanese Fascist Olympics the Event, Japanese Style the Spectre of 1940 in Later Asian Olympics. This work fills a gap in the literature, and provides an original addition to the history of Japanese culture, Asian cultures and the Olympic Movement. This book is a special issue of The International Journal of the History of Sport.

This book is an analysis of both contemporary Tokyo and the contemporary Olympic Games, emphasizing the role of late-stage capitalism and political economy in shaping both. The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games were mired in scandal from the beginning of the bidding process all the way through to the end of the games. This was further exacerbated by the emergency postponement to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, with many public opinion polls supporting further postponement or cancelation in 2021. The contributors to this volume look at the Tokyo 2020 Games in the context of other modern games and the struggle to use the games as an economic stimulus. They reveal the reality of the Olympic development in Tokyo based on evidence and concrete policy analysis. This is a valuable resource for scholars both of contemporary Japan and of the Olympics and other mega-events.

Under the direction of design critic Katsumi Masaru, leading postwar designers such as Hara Hiromu, Kono Takashi, Yamashiro Ryuichi, Tanaka Ikko, Awazu Kiyoshi and Yanagi Sori designed a wide range of articles including tickets, invitation letters, medals, badges, award certificates, bulletins, programs, reports, ID cards, uniforms, commemorative coins and stamps, torches, promotional decorations and guidance signs."--Foreword.

This article attempts to analyze some sociological aspects of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games focusing on the dynamics of public opinion and the factors that determined it. The first part of the article analyzes public opinion issues and the dynamics of Japanese residents' attitude towards the Olympics. The second part deals with the sports and sociological results of the Games, comparing them with the previous competitions. The third part provides an analysis of the measures to combat the COVID-19 spread among the athletes and discusses criteria for evaluating their effectiveness. The final part of the article touches upon the symbolic significance of the Games for completing the "lost decades", recovery after the tsunami, the earthquake, and the nuclear accident of 2011, and for increasing the tourist attractiveness of the country.
