Thank you, @mae_1031_ Yosca Maeda-san 🙏

You traveled with us, experienced these places firsthand, and then transformed those memories into art😁.

That means a lot.

I’m excited for people to experience ZANSHIN and SHIKAN through your eyes as well 🇯🇵.
Cheers🥃🥃🎉!

I had the pleasure of designing the artwork for the SAKAZUKI Journey Pass

@SakazukiNFT is a project founded by @HighballCharlie, known as the “Father of the Highball” for helping spark Japan's highball boom

One of its projects, TABI, invites people to explore the profound experiences, beauty, and craftsmanship that can be found throughout Japan

I personally visited several of these places and created two artworks inspired by the atmosphere, landscapes, and spirit of the journeys they represent

For Zanshin(残心), I layered the scenery of the Ojira River with the flow of people, seasons, and time itself

For Shikan(止観), I drew inspiration from the view from Mount Hiei, reflecting the importance of pausing, observing, and taking time for contemplation

I hope these artworks will quietly accompany the memories you create on your journey

@seanbonner I'm currently using AI to help me understand and learn all the deep concepts behind it😭. Experiencing it now!

@__Keegan__ Thank you Keegan🥃🥃🩷!

Hi(ball)!
One thing I’ve learned over the past few years:

The most interesting things in Japan 🇯🇵 are usually not the famous things.

They’re the people, stories, craftsmanship, and places hiding underneath the surface.

That’s really what TABI is about 😊
Cheers🥃🥃🎉

[Highball Charlie @HighballCharlie]

Hi(ball)! One of the most thoughtful descriptions of what we’re trying to build.

Thank you @NORIWTS 😭

SAKAZUKI has never been just about travel, whisky, or NFTs.

It’s about helping people see Japan 🇯🇵 — and perhaps themselves — a little differently.
Cheers 🥃🥃

So many great memories thanks to @HighballCharlie and @SakazukiNFT …. Truly incredible, Japan is calling again 🇯🇵

[Non-FungibleTony (NFT) @tonyherrera]

Still working on this, getting close to a public announcement.

Today, I was fortunate to share details with @tylekki on what @obscuradao has planned.

It was great to speak with a talented photographer pursing his passion at the end of the world in El Chaltén, Patagonia.

@JimenaBuenaVida Haha!😁🎉

[SAKAZUKI @SakazukiNFT]

Over the past few months, SAKAZUKI has been quietly building new journeys across Japan🇯🇵.

Not simply to visit places.

But to experience the atmosphere, people, craftsmanship, spirituality, and Hidden Gems underneath them.

Japanese pixel artist @mae_1031_ parts of the journey itself and created these Art Journey Tokens from memories, atmosphere, and moments experienced along the way.

More than tickets.
Memory vessels.
