Programs for the Opening and Closing Ceremonys of the Nagano Winter Olympic Games

To make the program for the Opening Ceremony of the Nagano Winter Olympic Games look special, Kenya Hara used a special kind of paper that reminds you of snow and ice. When he pressed the paper, it made some parts look see-through, like footprints on ice or fresh snow. The texture of the paper makes you think of the snowy and icy festival. In the program for the Closing Ceremony, he tried a cool mix of different languages. The Japanese text goes up and down, while the French and English text goes side to side.
