■ Yamakoshi Bullfighting (July 2024 location)
On July 14, the July 2024 bullfighting tournament was held in Yamakoshi. As we have mentioned several times in this newsletter, bulls' horns thrusting is one of the most important traditional cultures in Yamakoshi, along with Nishikigoi. At that time, when we minted Nishikigoi NFT, there was some debate as to whether it should be Nishikigoi or bullfighting.
Many digital villagers of Nishikigoi NFT were also fascinated by this bullfighting culture, and in fact, a side project called “bullfighting fan club” was even created. The report of the July bullfighting-rutting event held on July 14 is now available for those who are interested!
If you are interested in learning more about the bullfighting, please join us on the official Nishikigoi NFT community (Discord), where there is a talk space dedicated to bullfighting!
■ Events in Tenryukyo
Tenryukyo has now become a new member of the Local DAO after the Local DAO community voting. Various events are being held at Tenryukyo. This time we would like to introduce one of them, OKATTE!
OKATTE is a monthly social event held at a cafe called Tenryu-do in front of Tenryukyo Station. It is called Makanai Shokudo OKATTE and is organized by some of the Tenryukyo team member. There are people who are thinking about starting a business, people who come for the food, and people who just want to mingle.
In the future, many digital villagers from Nishikigoi NFT will be able to “return home” to OKATTE, and I feel that when such a future comes, it will be many times more interesting. This time it was sudden, but as we do this every month, we hope to have another opportunity to plan together with the Tenryukyo team and the digital villagers!
■ Connecting Local Communities to the World with the Advanced Digital Technology
A new video interview with Ms. Haruka Takeuchi, representative of Yamakoshi Residents' Council, has been released. From its publication to the present, this project originated in Yamakoshi has had its ups and downs. A new form of interaction between digital villagers and real villagers.
We have had various media from Japan and abroad cover this project, and many people have discovered the Nishikigoi NFT. We are very proud and very happy about that. We hope that this project will continue to be known by many people and connect with many local people in the future as a new way of rural regions.
