The NFT boom, according to sceptics, was nothing more than a hype-driven “lockdown-era” bubble that had burst. But many experts believe the landscape is evolving and that the crash was a healthy correction on the road to a more dynamic NFT economy. NFTs are the future of creative ownership. When it comes to keeping artists supported and protecting them from copyright infringement – NFTs are the game-changers; with new collabs and artwork giving the market a fresh start. Today we talk about what makes NFTs special and explore the Japanese inspired NFT art collection by Susherito.

What are NFTs?

NFT stands for a ​​Non-fungible token. 

​​The term Non-fungible pretty much refers to something that is one-of-a-kind and can’t be replaced with anything else (like for like or the same value).

An NFT is a collectable digital asset that has value both as a kind of cryptocurrency and as a form of art or culture.

A Token is a digital unit or “thing” that is made up of unique data (artwork, music, etc.) that represents value or rights and that can be given and sold. Therefore, each NFT is truly unique, and contains data useful in proving ownership.

What makes NFTs special?

Creative NFTs are typically associated with digital artwork. But, in essence, an NFT can be considered anything unique that can be saved digitally and considered of value. NFTs are pretty much any kind of collector’s item, except that instead of an oil painting on canvas you have a JPG or GIF file.

Artists are continually supported

The beauty of NFTs is that artists/creators can create and sell their digital art, and every time it re-sells, the original creator takes a small percentage of subsequent sales as well as everyone who’s in touch with it or sold it, all names are associated with that item. 

Protection against Copyright infringement

Someone who buys an NFT online ​​cannot alter or transfer it. They are free to share the work on social media or resell the NFT to someone else but they can’t reproduce any further verified copies for profit.

Because of Blockchain technology, NFTs are created with software code that regulates the proof of ownership. This ensures the authenticity of artwork by providing accurate information on all previous ownerships.

‘Tokenisation’

The tokenisation of digital artwork eliminates territorial barriers and intermediaries while enabling the fractional ownership of assets — this means that anyone can own and invest and benefit from digital art!

Bitcoin in Japan

Japan and Blockchain Technology

Japan has always had a strong presence in the world of Blockchain Technology and cryptocurrencies. Firstly, let’s not forget that the creator of Bitcoin uses the Japanese pseudonym “Satoshi Nakamoto”, Nakamoto implemented the bitcoin software as open-source code and released it in back January 2009. The rest is history.

Japanese-inspired cryptocurrency is everywhere; DogeCoin and Shiba Inu Coin are popular Shiba Inu-inspired meme currencies. Many cryptocurrencies adopted Shogun-themed names. Dojo Coin, Samurai Coin, Ronin, and Katana Coin to name a few (it remains to be seen whether or not these will prove to be cryptos worth investing in).

One cryptocurrency we’ve covered previously and are fully behind is AnimeCoin, a digital currency set up that addresses transactional needs of digital artwork created by Anime artists. We’re sure that there is a plethora of Japanese-inspired NFT artwork on OpenSea!
