1964 Tokyo Olympic cauldron removed

TOKYO, Japan - File photo taken on the Oct. 10, 1964, shows the final torch bearer Yoshinori Sakai after lighting the Olympic Torch during the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony at the National Stadium in Tokyo. The Olympic cauldron, a symbol of Japan's postwar reconstruction, will be transferred to the March 2011 disaster-hit city of Ishinomaki as the stadium will be demolished prior to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Sakai passed away in September at the age of 69.
