There are language and cultural gaps to adopting Cardano. The best way to bridge cultural and language barriers is through creating NFTÂ art.
We will bridge Japanese/English communities with an Annual Cardano NFT Art Festival in Japan with local/international artists.
This is the total amount allocated to Cardano NFT Art Festival.
What are we currently able to do right now?
We currently translate key documents about Cardano and post them to this site.
Additionally, we tweet out regularly in Japanese updates about Cardano via Twitter at the Twitter below.

How are we going to engage the Japanese and English Communities?
We are going to merge our Japanese members with our English Speaking members by using the Catalyst funds to create a website centered on making NFTs and Art the focus of the conversation in a forum supported by Discord, Zoom, and Telegram. The website will also be used to advertise our virtual workshops with our Translators on Zoom and Discord. NFTs are a huge topic of conversation at the moment and will be our bridge to join the two communities. Our goal is to conduct annual Virtual and In-Person Events/Festivals centered around Cardano and NFT Art. We plan to transition to in-person events when we are able to fund and fly a select group of our English community members to Japan.Â
