I am very honored to be able to work with him and host his first <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/nft/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NFT</a> on Astar Network,” said Sota Watanabe, founder, and CEO of Astar Network, in the partnership announcement.Yoshitaka is a pioneer artist in creating fantasy worlds.

His unique Japanese art style is widely admired and appreciated across the globe.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/a4be1cdc9003450bb5f7084638d11131.png" />“For people to see and appreciate my work is a bonus. It makes me want to draw even more. That was already the case when I was a child, and it hasn’t changed ever since,” said Yoshitaka Amano.Mr. Amano’s alluring artworks have resulted from his collaborations with over 20 authors, leading to the successful creation and sales of illustrated books. The partnership now with Mr. Amano and Twin Planet has made Astar Network the go-to <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/blockchain/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blockchain</a> network for professional artists willing to create, auction, and reveal their valuable artwork.<h2 id="header-1">Partnership With Astar Network</h2>Thanks to the partnership with Astar network, this is the first time Mr. Amano’s fantasy worlds and characters will finally come to life on <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/blockchain-technology-changing-the-world/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blockchain technology</a>. His art can now resonate with more people in the blockchain industry, including with projects and communities of the Astar network.Additionally, this partnership symbolizes the beginning of Astar Network’s partnership with Twin Planet to help professionals in the fine arts industry mint their digital assets on a trusted and secure network and also help expose their art to the public. For context, Twin Planet is the talent management firm representing Yoshitaka Amano and other famous artists in the industry.With this partnership, Astar Network will now be in charge of Yoshitaka Amano’s Candy Girl artwork, a young and alluring sensational art collection that features 108 angels. The art is modern and appealing to media applications, including the already inspiring clothing design at “Tokyo Girls Collection 2017” and high fashion at Mitsukoshi Ginza’s “Discover Tokyo” event.The Astar network will also build a Web3 entertainment platform for the Candy Girl collection to establish in its ecosystem and branch of new galleries, entertainment, or design. Thus, NFT ownership of fine art will directly correlate with the real-world utility of the partnership. According to the announcement, the Candy Girl art collection will lead the way for Japanese content creators to have ownership of their art, music, and stories.Notably, the creation of this limited edition NFT collection on the Astar network is not only crucial to Japan but also to Astar’s vision to bring the East closer to the West, fine art to blockchain technology, and also to present international leaders to the <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/glossary/web-3-0/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Web3</a> world.<h2 id="header-2">About Astar Network</h2>Astar Network is The Future of Smart Contracts for Multichain.
