Development of TabbyPrint x NFT Art
How Digital Art (NFT) x TabbyPrint works
While the uniqueness of NFT art, digital data, is becoming assured and undergoing a revolution, printed materials printed in the real world can be easily duplicated. Adding TabbyPrint at the time of printing and linking the captured image to the NFT art on the blockchain makes it possible to make the printed material unique.
In addition, even if the print is passed on to a secondary distributor and the owner changes, the photographed image on the blockchain can determine the print's authenticity.
By linking the TabbyPrint image and the NFT art on the blockchain, the artist can manage the history of the copyright and market distribution of the printed material, and the owner can have peace of mind that they have the real thing in their hands.
Aguri Sagimori Project Introduction
We will be creating both physical artwork and artwork in a virtual space.
As a first step, we will present NFT's digital art and works printed using a new patented technology called TabbyPrint.
TabbyPrint is a technology that allows inkjet printers to print "the world's only individual identification pattern.
Each cat's pattern (Tabby) is unique and individual, and we chose to use this technology because of its overlap with TabbyPrint.
Concept of the work
My work is a chimera girl called "MMMME" (pronounced "meh").
MMMME has unique fur, four eyes, and a personality of its own.
MMMME travels between the real and virtual worlds through mirrors.

Comment from Aguri Sagimori
By adopting TabbyPrint, digital art can be proven original, just as digital art has its individuality through the blockchain.
Previously recognized as reproductions, Inkjet prints can now retain their original value.
The appeal of TabbyPrint is not only its ability to determine authenticity but also the fact that humans have no control over the accidental impact of the ink. Being uncontrollable by humans felt like the birth of life, so we put the TabbyPrint in the eye as if to breathe life into the work.
The proceeds will be donated to the cats that were the source of MMMME's creations and will also be given back to a shelter cat organization.
