The newly built National Stadium, which will serve as the main venue for next summer’s Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, was unveiled on Sunday. The stadium will be used for athletics and soccer during the Tokyo Games as well as opening and closing ceremonies. Cedar wood gathered from all of Japan’s 47 prefectures were used for the eaves that cover the three-tier stands as well as the pent roofs that surround the stadium. The National Stadium’s sporting debut will be the Jan. 1 final of the Emperor’s Cup, the annual soccer tournament held by the Japan Football Association. 📸: Kazuhiro Kobayashi
