Traditional arts & crafts from Japan stepping into the NFT world to raise funds for the Children of Ukraine; it is all about IMPACT DIVIDENDS, despite Crypto Winters

Geneva - November 17, 2022: Hiroko Fujioka and WISe.ART, a vetted NFT Marketplace powered by WISeKey International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading global cybersecurity, AI, Blockchain, and IoT company, announced today that they will join forces to host “Le Japon à deux Pas”, a physical NFT exhibition, which takes place at the Espace Fert, 7 rue Barton in Geneva, Switzerland.

From November 24 to 26 at 11 am Hiroko Fujioka, Master of the Kinkara Kawa Technique, will present her art in an exhibition of modern travel accessories revisited in the ancient Japanese lacquer tradition. To fix a gold leaf on leather, Hiroko Fujioka uses Urushi, Japanese lacquer. Hence her technique is named “Kinkara Kawa Urushi” She uses other techniques such as Shibori, and Twin dye.

Workshops and conferences will be held at the Espace Fert, 7 Barton Street in Geneva, Switzerland.

On Saturday 26 November, the last day of the exhibition, an NFT auction with “phygital” packages will be held from 3 pm with the support of WISe.ART. The auctioneer will be TSR TV presenter Rayane M’Zouri. Part of the proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross International Committee in aid of their efforts in Ukraine.

Kinkara Kawa Technique or CUOI D' ORO is one of the art techniques to make leather craft, which is to tan, plate it with leaves of special metal, then make embossed pattern using metal molds, and finally dying it. It is an art of great rarity which was made only for a duration of 300 years from the Italian Renaissance period until just before the Napoleon Revolution.


The technique was imported to Japan in mid-17th century and continue to flourish there from Meiji (1868~1912) through Taisho (1912~1926) period. CUOI D'ORO decorated many walls of European palaces which were torn off and sold when they rebuilt and renovated the buildings. Most of them were bought by Japanese people, cut up in small pieces, then made into bags and other small items, and sold as "KINKARAKAWA" (means European gold leather).

"KINKARAKAWA" became very popular in Japan. They also found the origin of CUOI D'ORO after 50 years of researching and analyzing and succeeded in reproducing CUOI D'ORO of the same quality or better.

WISe.ART is much more than a secured vetted NFT marketplace. It cares about society and the planet and supports many environmentally friendly projects, projects which place humans at the heart of the action with a view to raise awareness and funds.

We aim to embrace and accompany the artists who onboard their work or collectibles on the platform. Quality and security are key in our business model. Collectors should feel as comfortable with their investments and knowing that most of the time they are helping the world while enjoying the thrill of collecting.
