This year's "sakura pink" torch has a cherry blossom shape that merges five individual flames into one. It was created by designer Tokujin Yoshioka, who said over email that it is a symbol of hope and "emotional recovery" from the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan a decade ago. The body of the torch is partly made from recycled aluminum used in the shelters that housed survivors following the disaster. Over time, the relay's dark origin story has faded from memory, as each new host city makes it its own. The routes have taken everywhere from days to months to complete, with backup flames (also from the original source in Olympia) now kept in miner's lamps and carried alongside the torch. Sometimes, plans are derailed by more than an extinguished flame: During the Tokyo 1964 Summer Games, a typhoon damaged the plane carrying the torch, and a backup plane was called in while a second flame was sent ahead to make up for the lost time.
