■ Nishikigoi NFT Meetup in Tokyo

We hosted a New Year's party for Nishikigoi NFT on the 20th of this month. This event consisted of two parts: an online conference and an evening IRL event. In the online conference, we had Joi and all the speakers, who are involved in the diverse fields of "community" "crypto" and "art" share their thoughts.

Many digital villagers came and joined us for the evening session, the Nishikigoi Villagers' New Year Party, which included pounding mochi (rice cakes) made from Yamakoshi rice. We also had the opportunity to introduce Tenryukyo and Shiiba Village, two new candidates for Local DAO.

In the end, we had a talk session with real and digital villagers of Yamakoshi, and a collaborative talk between Yamakoshi Koiya and our artist who created the third mint of Nishikigoi NFT.

Thank you very much to everyone who participated! For those digital villagers who couldn't make it this time, we look forward to seeing you at our next event.

New Local DAO Candidate: Tenryukyo (Nagano Prefecture)

New Local DAO Candidate: Shiiba Village (Miyazaki Prefecture)

＜Haruka from Neo Yamakoshi Village＞
I'm so happy that We had so many digital villagers joined this meetup! Thank you so much to everyone from Tenryukyo and Shiiba Village, as well as to the digital villagers who joined us at the 3rd mint, and to all the participants from all over the country. It was a wonderful experience to see people meeting each other for the first time or meeting again after a long time, and to feel that they immediately become friends! I'm looking forward to taking on the challenge of this new phase with you!

＜tomo from Tenryukyo＞
I felt like the people of Nishikigoi NFT were such a team that it was honestly hard for me to believe that they usually live in different areas. Having conversations with these people gave me more confidence and hope that we can create something new together.

＜KEN from Shiiba Village＞
I truly felt glad to have the opportunity to share my thoughts about the future of the village and Local DAO at the meetup and that I got to meet Haruka and all the digital villagers. I'm preparing an article to put it all together, so I can't wait to share it with you all.
