What is NFT?

Non-Fungible-Token (NFT). NFT is a technology that certifies and authenticates digital data that can be easily duplicated as unique, and transactions are conducted in virtual currency.
This authentication technology has given unique value to digital works that were previously easy to copy. Currently, the rapidly growing NFT market is drawing attention from all over the world.

Shinwa Wise Holdings Co., Ltd. has been leading the domestic NFT art market by holding seminars and exhibitions on NFT and selling works. And will continue to create an environment where exhibitions by global digital artists can be held in Tokyo and Ginza, and send NFT art from Japan.
