What is 1912?

This is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) project. The NFTs produces in this project are pictures representing woman with artefacts of the Taisho Era – the Era in Japan between 1912 and 1926 - as well as typical Japanese landmarks.


Woman Be active! Move on!

This words, by implication, describes 1912 NFT itself very well.

In the Taisho era, women were the protagonists. Whereas previously it had been the norm for women to wear their hair long, short-cut hair became fashionable, and they also entered professions that were occupied by men.

Integration of cultures

In the Taisho period,Influenced by the European art style "Romanticism", a unique cultural trend called Taisho Roman ("Taisho Romanticism") formed, emphasizing freedom of expression and individuality. Thus, there are many unique fashions and sweets.

This is very similar to how the borderless NFT has merged with many anime and game cultures in the modern era.


Pop culture

The Taisho period was a time when Pop Art was undergoing a transition from the classical style of painting.

The key words in Pop Art are "popular", "ephemerality", "consumptiveness", "low cost", "mass production", "youth", "fad", "novelty" and "big business. These words, by implication, describe the NFT itself well.
