[su_note]The Olympic flame, lit amid a worldwide pandemic, shined light on the performances of the athletes, who left an indelible impression as they strove for glory. But also illuminated were the wider issues of Japanese politics, the functioning of society, and the meaning of the Olympics itself. What will be the legacy of the second Olympics hosted by Tokyo, 57 years after the first?[/su_note]

The charter uses the word âcelebrating,â which is translated as âiwau,â but the Emperorâs text, translated by the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee, used the more neutral Japanese word âkinen-suru,â which means âcommemorate.â The word must have been regarded as more appropriate amid the pandemic.[/su_note]
