The scope of this project is to bring traditional Japanese crafts closer to you. The NFTs of this project are linked to the real items of the Japanese traditional crafts. You can buy the traditional crafts through the NFT market. We also offer exclusive benefits for NFT holders. For some traditional crafts, you can get limited NFTs by exchanging them for the real thing. Please enjoy the reliable technology cultivated over a long history and its charm. A part of the traditional crafts have attractive features with unique character “one of a kind”. This character has a high affinity with NFTs. However, sometimes a high-cost with low-volume production character caused by “one of a kind” was considered as disadvantage. Few sales channels is a serious problem. We are going try to solve this problem by Cardano NFT market. We considered the value of traditional crafts from a scientific point of view. By redefining the value while discussing the reduction craftsmen and their attractiveness, we will convey the value of traditional crafts as clearly as possible. I'm here. NFT's exchange function with traditional crafts reserves inferior goods from being sold at high prices. This is also a regional revitalization challenge based on traditional crafts based on real products.

Aizome, also known as Japan Blue, is a represented Japanese traditional craft. Since indigo has insect repellent and antiseptic effects, it can be used as clothing for long-term use. In the past, it was widely spread throughout Edo. The “one-of-a-kind items” character is a great advantage of indigo dyeing products in addition to their beautiful artistry. Indigo dyeing is a high-quality product made by advanced dyeing techniques by craftsmen. In short, the dye used for indigo dyeing is in a “living” state. The state of the liquid changes depending on the temperature, humidity, period, etc. Indigo molecules have a low adhesion rate to the fabric, so the degree of dyeing varies greatly depending on the type of fabric. For these reasons, craftsmen repeat the dyeing process multiple times to adjust the finished color. The one-of-a-kind physical properties of indigo dye products continue even after the product is completed. Indigo molecules, which have weak chemical bonds, will mostly settle down over time, but they will fade slightly due to changes in humidity, rubbing, and ultraviolet light from sunlight during use.

A Japanese “Kimono” is quite famous Japanese culture. A Kyoto embroidery “Kyo-nui” is a kind of Japanese embroidery for high-class decorate luxury kimonos. A kyo-nui has been handed down since ancient times. A deep and artistic tastes were produced by “kyo-nui” due to special character such as using 12 thin silk threads, a variety of embroidery, including a special technique called kawari-nushi, which overlaps threads. We have prepared a large collection of works that will make it easier for you to enjoy the charm of Kyoto embroidery with the cooperation of “Embroidery Inagaki”, which has formally certificated two traditional craftsmen. In addition, we are also creating collaborative works such as “cooperation of indigo dyeing and Kyoto embroidery” unique to this project. If you contact us directly, we also perform made-to-order production upon request. Please enjoy the traditional crafts of Kyoto, where you can feel the four seasons in a variety of ways, coloring the kimono culture that represents Japan. Also such kind of new market will encourage Kyo-nui culture and be strong support to continue Kimono culture in Japan.
