Tokyo 1964: An Evening with Journalist & Writer Roy Tomizawa
Friday, October 30th, 6:30 pm
Join J-Sei At the Movies to spend an evening with journalist Roy Tomizawa, author of 1964, The Greatest Year in the History of Japan. Roy Tomizawa celebrated his first birthday on the opening day of the 1964 Olympics. His father worked with the NBC News crew that broadcast those games to homes in the United States. His father, Thomas Tomizawa, is pictured above with the news team, including Rafer Johnson. As far back as he can remember, Roy has been a fan of the Olympics. A year after Tokyo was awarded the 2020 Olympics, Roy went searching for an English-language book that chronicled the 1964 Olympics–but he couldn’t find one.
For inspiration, preview Tokyo Olympiad, Kon Ichikawa’s classic documentary, an artistic montage to the intensity, sacrifice and triumph of athletes from all over the world.
Then, join the discussion with Roy Tomizawa on how the world was transformed in 1964. RSVP to jill@j-sei.org with Tokyo 1964 in subject for link.
