The Shiiba Kagura NFT has been brought to life by our artist Hiroyuki Hori.
At the core of this collection is high-precision motion data, captured during the recent festival using a sophisticated 8 cameras positioned around the sacred stage. This setup allowed us to digitally preserve the ancient physical techniques and spiritual essence of the Kagura performers—a lineage of movement that has been passed down for centuries—using the pinnacle of modern technology.
These pieces are far more than mere digital images. They represent a true fusion of historical depth and digital innovation. By bridging a tradition that has survived for hundreds of years with the limitless possibilities of the future, we have created a one-of-a-kind art piece that records the very soul of Shiiba.
Our mission is to take the hidden energy of Shiiba—one of Japan’s most secluded and sacred regions—and connect it to the world and the future. This ambitious journey has only just begun.
Through this project, we believe that we are doing more than just “preserving” tradition. We are using the power of technology to accelerate it, giving traditional culture a new life in the digital age.
Our entire team is beyond excited to welcome you as a Digital villager and a true stakeholder in this story. Together, let’s build the future of the village.
