The designer of the Tokyo 2020 emblem is the Japanese artist Asao Tokolo. The lattice pattern has a long popular history in many countries. In Japan, the grid pattern was officially named "ichimatsu moyo" in the Edo period. The traditional indigo grid pattern represents elegance and maturity, which is very Japanese.
The emblem is composed of three different rectangles. The Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad said that these three different rectangles represent different countries, cultures and ways of thinking, and express the meaning of diversity and integration. And the emblem of the Olympic and Paralympic Games also expresses that the Tokyo Olympic Games will become a diversified platform connecting the world.
