■ Snow Shoveling Dojo
On February 10, digital villagers and NGO NICE members came together in Yamakoshi for the Echigo Snow Shoveling Dojo. Yamakoshi is well known for its heavy snowfall, with the average snowfall over 4 meters and the maximum snowfall sometimes exceeding 7 meters. In Yamakoshi, people have long adapted their lifestyles to the snow.
This was the second time for the snow dojo as we had a two-day program combining lectures and practical lessons. The participants had a chance to interact and enjoy the snow through different activities such as snow digging, making a snow cone, and snow slides. Please see below for photos of the event.
■ Neo Yamakoshi Village Supporter DAO
After the snow shoveling dojo, as part of the "Neo Yamakoshi Village Caretaker DAO Establishment," we had a launch party with the digital villagers and the local Yamakoshi community.
Nearly two years have now passed since the first mint of NishikigoiNFT, and about a year ago, we’ve began having meetings with Yamakoshi residents and digital villagers to discuss how to organize this community to make it more comfortable, enjoyable, independent, and sustainable. By establishing Neo Yamakoshi Supporter DAO, we are now really starting to build a new village, Neo Yamakoshi Village.
<What is Neo Yamakoshi Supporter DAO? >
DAO members who support the running of Neo Yamakoshi Village (formerly Yamakoshi DAO), a community based on shared values, together with people who share the lifestyle, spirit, and values of the Yamakoshi community residents.
More than 20 digital villagers have already signed up to participate in the DAO. We would like to continue to make it easier for more digital villagers and Yamakoshi residents to participate in the DAO. If you are interested, please take a look at our Discord community.
■ M-Lab Open Meeting in Miyake Village
On February 10, "M-Lab Open Meeting" took place in Miyake village, Nara Prefecture, with our co-founder, Hayashi, and the mayor of Miyake village, Mr. Koji Morita.
With the theme of "Living with Local Communities," we had a panel talk on the importance of a system of self-governance to support the future of public infrastructure in local communities where the population is rapidly declining, the birthrate is declining, and the population is aging.
