Q12. Whether the previous Tokyo Olympic in 1964 became the symbol of the recovery from the World War Ⅱ or not

The simple answer will be: The Tokyo Olympic in 1964 ended with a big success, in spite of the very difficult time after the World War Ⅱ and a lot of reasons. So it will be no problem to say that the previous Tokyo Olympic in 1964 could show the recovery from the World War Ⅱ.

Actually, the Tokyo Olympic in 1964 was the first time to hold the Olympics in Asia. Also, the athletes gathered from 93 countries and the facilities which are comtemporary things were used in Tokyo and also in Saitama, Kanagawa, Nagano and Chiba.

Also, in terms of the athletes, 439 delegations were participated in and won 29 medals in total. Especially, as for the volleyball game between Japan v.s. Soviet, the TV program rating was 85%.

The Tokyo Olympic in 1964 influenced on not only the recovery from the WWⅡ, but also the rapid economic growth and the construction of the infrastructures in urban area, such as the Tokaido Shinkansen and the Metropolitan Expressway. However, Japan tried to spread the program for the athletes to develop their skills and also, it spread the sports facilities in order to have the opportunity from children to older people to do sports.

Also, the most important point in this question is that through the Tokyo Olympics Japan became the country which is peaceful and the economic situation is satisfactory. In the speech to host the Tokyo Olympic in 2020, the Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, inferred to the Tokyo Olympic in 1964, and he said that although Japan was much poorer than Japan at this time, Japanese were passionate about hosting the Olympic and it led to the success of the Games.

Actually, as I wrote in question 3 in this blog, the first Tokyo Olympic was about to be held in 1940, but it was cancelled because of the WWⅡ, and not only this but also because of the expulsion from IOC and other every sports associations. So Japan made blanks of sports for about 10 years and Japan could not participate in London Olympics in 1948 because Japan was seemed to be the country which made the enemies of Western countries. Also, at that time Japan was under the control of the United States of America.

In Tokyo Olympic in 1964, the Olympic torch was finished by Yoshinori Sakai, the athlete of the athletic sports, who were born in August 6th in Hiroshima and many people around the world watched the television to see this very successful sports and this was called "Olympic economy" and the game was broadcasted. That was the first time to use the computers to rate the television watching rates. Through this game, Japan tried to make the country cleaner and cleaner the water and the roads.

Through this Olympic in 1964, Japan started the new age, which tries to achieve the country which was said like this: "Catch up the world and pass the world." So this Tokyo Olympic must have shown the recovery from the World War Ⅱ completely.

As for the articles, I trusted these four sources.
As for the first and second ones, which was from IOC, I thought that these sites describe the situations when Japan tried to host the Tokyo Olympics and tried to make the Games succeed peacefully in detail with no false information. This site is official site so this sites have no bias from the two aspects: for or against to host the Tokyo Olympics.
As for the third one, this site is also the official sites of the Tokyo Olympic, but this focuses on the Olympic in 2020. However, this site also describes the achievement of the previous Tokyo Olympic in 1964 very clearly so I think that through the article about the Tokyo Olympic in 1964, they tried to connected between the Olympic in 1964 and in 2020.
In terms of the fourth one, this article describes the information about the effect brought by the Tokyo Olympics in 1964, with the insistence by the Prime Minister and the fact about the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 with no bias and in detail.
So I think that we can understand the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 in terms of the difficutlies to host, and the reason why this Olympic could lead to success in Japan through these articles.

I think that the previous Tokyo Olympics could show the recovery from the Tokyo Olympics very strongly. Although there are only about 19 years after the World War Ⅱ ended and this was very difficult time for Japan, Japan showed the recovery from the Tokyo Olympics and the rapid economic growth in Olympic Games. Especially, the Olympic torch lighted by Yoshinori Sakai must have strongly shown the recovery from the war and achievement of Japan's development, and Japan became one of the developed countries through the Tokyo Olympics. In addition, the Tokyo Olympic 1940 was canelled because of the very sad reasons. However, because of the strong efforts of Japan to try to recover from the depths of the sad situations. So I think that Japan has very strong power to recover from the very difficult situations.
Through the Tokyo Olympic in 2020, Japan will also show the strong power of itself. Although Japan still have a lot of problems to solve, Japan can show the recovery from the Earthquake in Tohoku area as well as the Tokyo Olympic in 1964 which showed the recovery from the World War Ⅱ.
