Introduction
In a fascinating blend of modern technology and traditional craftsmanship, the collaboration among Paima Studio, Cardano BCG (Blockchain Game), and Socious bring you a one-of-a-kind opportunity: Play Paima’s exciting blockchain game, Tarochi, and contribute to the preservation of Aizome, the Japanese traditional indigo dyeing technique. Whether you're a gaming enthusiast, interested in social impact, or a crypto aficionado, this initiative has something for everyone.
The Cause: Aizome - A Fading Craftsmanship
Aizome, or traditional Japanese indigo dyeing, is an ancient art that is seeing fewer and fewer craftsmen each year. As modern production methods overshadow this traditional art form, we risk losing an invaluable cultural heritage. This campaign aims to preserve this cultural heritage by promoting Aizome products. The proceeds will be used to train a new generation of traditional craftsmen, ensuring the survival of this art form.
How You Can Help
- Paima Studio recently released Tarochi and is seeking feedback to improve the product. Individuals who provide valuable feedback will be awarded with NFTs of Japanese Aizome Handkerchiefs.
- By retweeting and raising awareness of Aizome.In both cases, we can broaden our reach and secure additional funds to train a new generation of traditional craftsmen. This will contribute to the sustainability and growth of the traditional art form.
Campaign Duration
This campaign will run for 1 month from 24th November 2023. Mark your calendars!
