Artwork designed for the 2020 Olympics has gone on display in Tokyo. 20 new pieces are on show at a new exhibition and we've picked some of our favourites. Shoko Kanazawa, who is a calligrapher (someone who specialises in written art), created this bold design called Fly High! With its gold background and black calligraphy, the poster represents the 鈥渆nergy of athletes鈥.

Viviane Sassen said she wanted to make an image that was playful, colourful and meaningful. It's called Joy of Play. The large 鈥榙ots鈥 of colourful ink represent the circles of the Olympic Games official logo.

This is the most simple of all the artwork pieces. It's by artist Philippe Weisbecker and is inspired by sketches of the new Olympic stadium. He drew it on rice paper - a nod to Japanese culture.
