Original postcard featuring Estadio Olimpico de Tokyo (Tokyo Olympic Stadium). This collector's item is unused and without a stamp, but addressed.

The stadium designed by architect Kenzo Tange became an icon of modern Japanese architecture and a symbol of post-war Japanese revival. The Spanish name "Estadio Olimpico de Tokyo" suggests the postcard was intended for Spanish-speaking market or tourists. The 1964 Olympics presented Japan as a modern industrial nation to the world and the stadium hosted athletics competitions and opening and closing ceremonies.
