#164: [Limited to 3 Days] International crypto art (NFT) auction! 10 collaborative artworks by 6 artists including the world’s youngest crypto artist Wet Chihuahua
This time, the Otaku Coin Association will have an international sale of ‘crypto art’!
We would like to thank you for the inquiries we have been receiving since our release of the ‘100 Limited Edition Otaku Coins’.
Among the inquiries, we received several comments from creators in Japan saying they would love to create an innovative artwork that features ‘Otaku Coin’ for crypto art collectors.
Since we are willing to support creators who are hoping to expand their markets more internationally, we thought it would be a meaningful challenge for us to have a sale of crypto artworks utilizing our verified Otaku Coin account on Rarible.
As the first step, from today, we will have a sale of 10 artworks that feature Otaku Coin on Rarible in collaboration with 6 creators.
The artworks are one-of-a-kind, which means there will be only 1 owner for each artwork and this time will be the only chance to buy the artworks on the 1st sale. The auction will be held for a limited period of 3 days, so be sure not to miss it!

■ Special Collection ‘Hanafuda’
“Hanafuda”, once a forbidden game…
1600 a.d., back in the Azuchi-Momoyama period.
Hanafuda is said to have derived from “Tenshō Karuta”, a popular card game of the time.
Karuta was popular as a gambling tool among the common folk, and in no time, the samurai were also hooked to the game. However, the shogunate banned it for the next 200 years.
The cards were treated as gambling tools if they had numbers on them, so a deck of cards without numbers was created. This was the birth of Hanafuda. Each of the months are represented by four cards with flowers printed on them. People were fascinated by the beauty of the patterns and the wondrous combinations of the cards.
Gokō, Shikō, Ame-Shikō, Sankō, and Inoshikachō.
Designed by the up-and-coming artist Reilly. illustration, the historical cards are recreated as collectible, one-and-only modern art, “Hanafuda”, featuring the Otaku Coin logo.
There are only 48 types of “Hanafuda” in the world, and as our first limited-time offer, we will be selling 3 out of the 48 designs.
The combinations of the cards represent the beauties of nature and the glamourous Japanese designs fascinate fans from all over the world. Why not get your own “Koi-Koi” card collection?
（”── 花札、それはかつて、”禁断の遊び”だった。
時は西暦1600年、安土・桃山時代。
花札の起源は、当時流行していた「天正かるた」に由来するといわれている。
かるたは、”賭け事”の道具として、庶民の人気娯楽となった。武士の間でも、たちまち人気となったものの、幕府によって以後200年ものあいだ、禁止されてしまう。
札に数字を入れると賭博用だと疑われるため、数字を使わず絵柄だけのゲームができあがる。それが、花札だった。花札には、四季折々の花の絵が4枚ずつ描かれており、その絵柄の面白さと組み合わせの妙で、人気を博することとなる。
五光、四光、雨四光、三光、猪鹿蝶。
今回、歴史深い花札を、新進気鋭のアーティスト・Reilly.illustration氏とともに、オタクコインのロゴデザインを取り入れつつ、コレクタブルな『Hanafuda』として、唯一無二の現代アート作品として再現した。
『Hanafuda』は、世界に48種類しか存在せず、今回は、その第1弾の3種を期間限定販売する。
札の組み合わせによって、花鳥風月の美しさが表現されるのが花札の魅力。艶やかで純和風なテイストの絵柄は、海外にも熱狂的なファンが大勢いる。あなただけの「こいこい」の手札コレクションを完成させてみてほしい。”）
