The 1964 Summer Olympic Games

Japan's leading toilet giant opens a new museum this week dedicated to a century of lavatories, from its first water flushing model to the most cutting edge version with odour-neutralisers and variable water jets.

Tokyo outbid Istanbul and Madrid to bag the quadrennial sporting extravaganza. This will be the second time Tokyo will be hosting the Summer Olympics. The Japanese capital hosted the 1964 Games where 93 countries participated.

Tokyo, which hosted the 1964 Summer Games, lost its bid for the 2016 edition to Rio de Janeiro, the first South American city to host an Olympics.

The 2008 Summer Olympics brought a smile to Chinese faces as China became the 22nd nation to host the Games. Overall, it was the third Olympic Games being held in Asia after Tokyo, Japan in 1964 and Seoul, South Korea in 1988.
