In an NFT industry, FiNANCiE, Inc. (Head office: Shibuya, Tokyo), which offers Crowdfunding 2.0 and NFT services which use blockchain technology, and Editor in Chief Kosuke Minowa’s sauna magazine Sauna Land are issuing the Sauna Land e-book as an NFT, which will be sold by auction.
Sauna Land is a magazine which expresses the favour and impulses of mankind toward sauna culture.
Crowdfunding began on October 17th, 2020 to create a specialist publication about and for saunas, and after raising about $100,000, Sauna Land magazine was edited and launched by Mr. Minowa.
The magazine sold out as soon as it went on sale and became a must-have sauna bible that is hard to obtain even now.
Following this unique backstory, only one copy of Sauna Land is now being released as an NFT, and will be up for auction from Monday April 26th, 2021.
The magazine has not been made into an e-book before, so this is an incredibly valuable item which allows it to be viewed as digital data for the first time.
In addition, this e-book is not only for personal use, but also comes with commercial use rights to publish and sell digital copies.
