Introducing NFT Art in Ikebukuro's East Side, a Gathering Spot for Subcultures
Starting from the 19th of June, the Ginza NFT Gallery is implementing a project named "Tokyo NFT Art Caravan via Network Vision". This project features the continuous presentation of NFT Art on large outdoor digital signages along the Tokyo Yamanote Line.
The goal of this project is to highlight the charm of the works presented in the Ginza NFT Gallery, as well as the exciting new experience of enjoying them in 3D/AR, by introducing a selection of these pieces via outdoor displays along the Yamanote Line.
Starting today, 18th July, a new video exhibition has begun in the eastern area of Ikebukuro, which is increasingly popular as a hub for subcultures like anime and manga.
At the bottom of each broadcast, an "XPAND Code" will be displayed. By scanning this code with a smartphone, viewers can convert all artworks into AR, bringing them to life in front of the camera, and sticking them wherever they please. You can enjoy a novel NFT Art experience while touring the centre of Tokyo.

Broadcast Contents:
A 60-second movie where the "Ginza Daifuku Great Jizo" suddenly appears and sequentially presents 13 pieces from the Ginza NFT Gallery. The dialogue comes with subtitles in English and Japanese.
Considering the character of the Ikebukuro East Side area, with its growing prominence as a gathering spot for subcultures, and the ideal setting provided by its wide-view installation spots, a collection of NFT art has been assembled. The chosen motifs are large and easily comprehensible, even from a distance.
An XPAND Code will be consistently displayed at the bottom of the video, allowing you to scan it with your smartphone and enjoy all the exhibited works of the Ginza NFT Gallery on the spot.
