 Every year, when spring comes, the city is dyed pale pink, and I take a walk in a beautiful cherry blossom storm that flutters.
 Did you know that such a natural sight could be lost if things go on like this?

 In order to protect the cherry blossoms and cherry blossom viewing culture, the 100-year-old sake brewery proposes to everyone who loves cherry blossoms all over the world.

Crisis of traditional culture lasting more than 1300 years

 The culture of hanami in Japan is said to have started in the Nara period.
 What used to be a viewing party favored by a few aristocrats has now become a familiar custom and traditional culture that everyone enjoys in the spring, 1,300 years later.

 Somei Yoshino, which accounts for 80% of the cherry blossoms planted all over Japan, has a lifespan of about 60 years. Seventy-five years have passed since the post-war reconstruction period when cherry blossoms were planted actively, and now we often see news that the aged “Somei Yoshino” trees have withered or fallen due to decay. Cherry blossoms that are rapidly decreasing in number. The decrease in cherry blossoms means that cherry blossoms are no longer familiar.
 At this rate, the “hanami” culture itself may become unfamiliar.

A 100-year-old sake brewery stands up to protect the “Hyakujuro Sakura” and “hanami” culture

 This problem also occurred at famous cherry blossom spots.

 In Kakamigahara City, Gifu Prefecture, known as “Japan’s No. 1 Cherry Blossom Corridor City,” Hayashi Honten has been brewing sake for over 100 years. We have continued to work closely with the local community, such as manufacturing the brand “Hyakujuro” series, which is named after “Hyakujuro Sakura”, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Kakamigahara City. When I learned that Hyakujuro Sakura was gradually dying out, I strongly felt that there was something I could do for Hyakujuro Sakura, in addition to brewing sake called Hyakujuro. rice field.

 In order to widely communicate the crisis and current situation of cherry blossoms, as well as create new cherry blossom viewing spots and pass on the “hanami” culture to the next generation, Mr. Hayashi combined the power of NFT and the brewery. I came up with a new form of ownership system.
 It involves planting trees in the Sakura Corridor, including Hyakujuro Sakura, based on individual investment, and granting the ownership of the planted cherry blossoms to investors. Anyone around the world who loves cherry blossoms can have a cherry blossom with their name on it in the Sakura Corridor. To go.

 The joy of having your own tree in a famous cherry blossom viewing spot for the owner.
 Let people enjoy admiring the cherry blossoms that bloom abundantly forever.
 The cherry blossom corridor in Kakamigahara City is now being reborn as a sustainable cherry blossom spot where everyone can be happy.

To sell HYAKUJURO “SAKURA” NFT

 This time, in NFT, which will be released in collaboration with Hayashi Main Store and HINATA, we will grant “cherry tree ownership” to protect each cherry tree in order to protect the cherry blossom viewing culture.
 While enjoying cherry blossom viewing under the cherry blossom trees that grow beautifully every year, please boast to those around you that this is your own cherry blossom as a leader in protecting Japanese culture. Each cherry tree will be tagged with the nickname of the owner.

 For example, if you purchase an NFT with ownership of a cherry tree “SAKURA NFT <“Sakura” Support Course>”…

  • Become a bearer of a new cherry blossom spot in Japan
  • A cherry blossom with a name tag that can be said to be your own cherry blossom is born

 You can get such a wonderful experience!

 The NFT to be sold this time includes a plan that includes a tour trip to Gifu Prefecture, which is the base of Hayashi Honten, including the ownership of the cherry tree, Hayashi Honten’s sake “Hyakujuro: Sakura”. A portion of NFT’s sales will be used to create an environment that can be enjoyed by people in Japan and overseas, including maintenance and expansion management of “Hyakujuro Sakura” and the Sakura Corridor.

A new function called [Vesting date] using NFT

 One of the great advantages of NFT is that it is easy to freely trade between individuals.
 The reason for this is that NFTs are digital data that has been authenticated, and transaction histories are safely recorded on the blockchain, making it difficult for unauthorized transactions to occur, so transactions can be performed safely and quickly. We believe that this project will also increase opportunities for many people to know about Hayashi Honten’s efforts to protect cherry blossom spots and cherry blossom viewing culture by passing NFTs into the hands of various people through secondary distribution.

 As a new initiative this time, the various benefits granted to NFT have been set so that those who own them as of 01:10 on January 10, 2023 can acquire the rights. You can purchase NFTs and hold them until the date and time when the rights are confirmed, or you can transfer various rights to those who want to support more.
