Hello today I have a DLO on the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Mascot Miraitowa. I will not be talking about Someity in this blog post which is the other mascot of this current olympic.
Miraitowa is the Mascot for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. It was designed by the Artist Ryo Taniguchi after 2,042 applications were submitted for approval. The Tokyo Organising Committee reviewed each design and picked the top 3 for elementary Japanese students to decide the winner.
Miraitowa has the ability to teleport to places instantly. Miraitowa’s name has the combination of Japanese words meaning “Future” (Mirai) “Eternity” (Towa). Miraitowa represents the Tokyo Olympics will lead to the future of everlasting hope in the hearts of the world.
The patterns on the robot are similar to the Ichimatsu pattern it also represents
the culture of Japan with it being also a Samurai helmet.
I hope you got some understanding behind Miratowa and some interesting facts
about the mascot.
Ka pai John. Thanks for these facts. I hadn't even heard of the mascot before. It sounds like they put a lot of thought into the design. If you were to design a mascot to represent New Zealand what would it be like?
