The Public-Private Partnership Promotion Organization, GMTS and PP Enterprise are "expressing local appeal through cosplay" and, aiming for regional revitalization by expanding the region's related population (people who maintain an ongoing connection to a region without living there), have begun selling the Digital Resident NFT Ambassador Card of Kamigori Town, Hyogo Prefecture, on HEXA
Kamigori Town, Hyogo Prefecture, together with the Public-Private Partnership Promotion Organization, GMTS and PP Enterprise, aims to "expand the related population through cosplayers" and will sell the NFT on HEXA, one of Japan's largest NFT marketplaces, from 18:00 on December 12, 2024 (Thu).
Shirahata Castle, the "castle that never fell," is said to have held off an army of 60,000 with just 2,000 soldiers and is known as an impregnable castle; even today, many people come here to pray for passing exams, success and the fulfillment of their wishes.
Takamine Shrine, which was also revered by Akamatsu Enshin, lord of Shirahata Castle, was founded by imperial order in Tenroku 3 (972) as a shrine enshrining Susanoo-no-Mikoto and his family, to pray for the safety of the nation and the region from disasters, epidemics, upheavals and the like. For more than a thousand years it has been known as a sacred place for thinking of the people you hold dear. At Takamine Shrine, Enako appears in a costume inspired by a female warrior fighting valiantly at Shirahata Castle. Kokoro Shinozaki and Saki Miyamoto appear in costumes inspired by Toyoukehime-no-Kami, the goddess of abundant harvests from fertile land.
