Remarques & avis / Review — A great iconographic festival for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games: the best shots published in the Asahi group newspaper and magazine are collected here, in deluxe edition — a slight personal preference for the b&w pics, due to the fine reproduction by photogravure — and all ceremonies and olympic sports get their go : athletics / track n field, shooting, horse-riding, cycling, watersports, rowing, fencing, judo, wrestling, gymnastics, volleyball, field hockey, football, swimming, diving... A real treat !

Un véritable festival iconographique des Jeux Olympiques de 1964 à Tokyo : les plus remarquables clichés parus dans les journaux du groupe Asahi se retrouvent ici en édition de luxe — une légère préférence personnelle pour les n&b, du fait de la très bonne repro en héliogravure — et toutes festivités et tous les sports olympiques y passent : athlétisme, tir, équitation, cyclisme, sports d'eau, aviron, escrime, judo, lutte, gymnastique, volleyball, hockey sur gazon, football, nage, plongeon... Un vrai bonheur !
