Asian countries have used drones and fireworks to present aerial light shows in the sky. They push the boundaries and have used a fusion of live action and special effects to present their stories. Putting the live program with animated, commercial, and computer graphic imaging mixed with music video style displays created awesome opening ceremonies for each individual host country.
At the end of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil we were treated to a preview of the Japanese Summer Olympics for 2020. We will be able to enjoy the opening ceremony in Tokyo Japan this Friday, July 23rd at 7:30 pm on NBC.

Japanese Foods That Heal
Using Traditional Japanese Ingredients to Promote Health, Longevity, and Well-being
Published in 2011
In Japan, the old ways have prevailed well into the 21st century. Small family run shops still make miso, tofu, shoyu, tamari, amazake and other traditional healing foods the same way they were made centuries ago. Perched on ladders, tamari makers gently stir fermenting brew in two-hundred-year-old wood vessels that easily top ten feet. Farmers cultivate shiitake and green tea and harvest sea vegetables according to the ancient, natural ways. These producers use the purest ingredients available, and provide superior foods that promote and sustain health. In Japanese Foods That Heal, John and Jan Belleme introduce eighteen essential foods from Japan that are still cultivated and prepared using time-honored methods and recipes. These traditionally made healthy Japanese foods have been proven to cure and prevent degenerative disease, and to prevent premature aging-a fact the Japanese have known for centuries. By stocking up on these healing Japanese foods, your pantry will become a key element of your healthy lifestyle! This healthy Japanese cookbook includes everything you need to know about these healthy and delicious foods-from nutrition and medical facts to recipes and tips for creating wholesome and flavorful meals.
