The News of the Week:
Yamakoshi Connecting Hearts Project
Update of Nishikigoi NFT
■ Yamakoshi Connecting Hearts Project
This year marks a significant milestone as we remember the 20th anniversary of the 2004 Chuetsu Earthquake, a disaster that profoundly impacted the Yamakoshi region. The earthquake, which struck with devastating force, not only caused severe damage to infrastructure but also disrupted the lives of countless individuals in this tight-knit rural community. However, what has emerged over the past two decades is a remarkable story of resilience and collective strength.
The people of Yamakoshi, known for their deep-rooted traditions and a way of life intertwined with nature, faced the immense challenge of rebuilding their homes, livelihoods, and community. The recovery process was neither quick nor easy, but through steadfast determination and mutual support, they have managed to not only restore what was lost but also preserve their unique cultural heritage, including their renowned Nishikigoi farming.
Today, Yamakoshi stands as a symbol of hope and recovery. The community’s efforts over the last 20 years are a testament to the enduring spirit of its people. They have shown the world how, even in the face of overwhelming adversity, it is possible to rebuild stronger, while staying true to one’s roots. As we look back on the events of 2004, we honor the resilience of Yamakoshi’s people and celebrate their achievements in preserving their rich cultural traditions for future generations.

■ Update of Nishikigoi NFT
Regarding the community-driven credit card, "Nishikigoi NFT Card," which we announced last month, we are currently progressing with planning meetings alongside our digital villagers. So far, we have held two meetings, both of which saw a great turnout and valuable input from participants. Thanks to your contributions, we are now shaping key details such as membership benefits and other features.
Our next meeting, the third Nishikigoi NFT Card Open Meeting, is scheduled for next week on September 3rd at 9:00 PM (JST). So far, potential membership benefits such as "postcards," the "Okan Box" (a local specialty box), and a "Homecoming Tour" that offers an immersive regional experience have been proposed. These benefits are designed to help participants truly feel the charm of the region.
We’re sending out our newsletters twice a month with the contents of:
