Torch for the 1998 Olympic Games in Nagano

This aluminium torch, whose silver colour recalls a landscape covered in snow, has six sides, like an ice crystal. Its shape is also inspired by ancient Japanese torches (taimatsu), while its handle, with its brightly coloured rope tightly wound around the lower part of the torch, is a typically Japanese feature.
