Top 5 Japanese NFTs

•

Nice to see #NFTJapan trending🚀 Historically, Japan played a significant role in the development of NFTs. Here are my top 5. 👇

#5 KOJIPEPE - Issued on October 7, 2016 this Rare Pepe pays homage to @Coin_and_Peace, an NFT legend, who was instrumental in developing the first mobile wallet to display NFT's. xchain.io/asset/KOJIPEPE

#4 NINJASUIT - Created by play-to-earn gaming pioneer @MandelDuck while living in Japan, it was the first in-game NFT for the Historic game SaruTobi. twitter.com/nishseq/status/1457725703336574977?s=20&t=qwOhh1S73oFAuf4CwRVbKw

#3 Bitgirls - No mention of Japanese NFTs is complete without mentioning the one that - while maybe the most cringe - lead to a much wider awareness of NFTs throughout Japan. zaif.jp/ico_bitgirls1?lang=en

#2 EtherWaifu - NGL I'm completely biased toward @etherwaifu as they were the first project I rediscovered. That said, the art by @jubimage is amazing, and the collection is often in the top 5 sales volume in Japan. opensea.io/collection/wrapped-waifus

#1 CCGBTCONE - Still the only NFT that @elonmusk has used as his pfp, the "Bitcoin Girl" is cool af. Minted on July 26, 2017 as part of the Oasis Mining project, it has a total supply of 300. host1.xchain.io/asset/CCGBTCONE

Honorable mention - Force of Will This NFT trading card gaming project from 2016 was short-lived due to the timing. Yes, 2016 sucked for NFTs🤣 But it represents a legitimate effort by a gaming company to tokenize their in-game assets.

I know I missed a couple. What is your favorite Japanese NFT?
