Peter-san, thank you for your candid feedback!
I had originally planned to submit two trait proposals, this time and the next, but have decided to make this one our last.
In the future, we would like to work on more expansive projects that will help us to introduce Nouns to new people.
I hope to team up with you and other talented artists to do something interesting.
I hope to continue to receive your candid and constructive feedback.

> We've got so many talented artists in our community, and it often feels like the only thing that comes out of it is just more trait proposals. Can our artists team up on something bigger than just individual traits?
>
> We need proposals that reach out to new communities and get more folks interested in what we're doing. Let's put our heads together and cook up something way more exciting for Nouns holders to actually govern. Honestly, voting on whether another trait should be added is pretty boring, and I definitely don't think it's worth the compensation these proposals are asking for.
Thank you Oxi-san and Brett-san for your sponsor votes.
I will be selecting two heads, “Walrus” and “Octopus” as my proposals for the 4th Nouniversary. In order, I will propose “Walrus” first, then “Octopus”.
The compensation is set at an amount equivalent to “one noun” for the two heads (walrus and octopus).
These are intended to be masterpieces in the lineage of so-called “full-body animal heads” such as foxes, goats, capybaras, etc. For my part, this is a full-body animal type proposal following the beluga.
I am a walrus!

## Some words from the artist
Hello. I am [amiyoko](https://warpcast.com/amiyoko), a Nouns artist specializing in head art. Over the past 3 years I have created over 500 unique pieces of artwork.
A selection of my representative works can be viewed in the [Noundry Gallery](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/profile/0x1bd40b1d0bd65b12b2995dd6ad8f0334aa7ed83d).
I am honored to have already contributed three designs to the Nouns collection:
- [Beluga](https://www.probe.wtf/nouns?head=head-beluga&per_page=40&sort_property=token_id&sort_method=desc)
- [Tuba](https://www.probe.wtf/nouns?head=head-tuba&per_page=180&sort_property=token_id&sort_method=desc)
- [Shrimp Tempura](https://www.probe.wtf/nouns?head=head-shrimp-tempura&per_page=180&sort_property=token_id&sort_method=desc)
For this year’s 4th Nouniversary, I have selected four head designs as candidates: **Apple**, **Octopus**, **Sheep**, and **Walrus**.
From these, I will narrow it down to two finalists.
The final selection will be based on community feedback and preferences.
As for compensation, based on the recent average auction price of 1 ETH,
I would like to propose 0.5 ETH, which is half of that average.
I truly look forward to hearing your thoughts. Thank you very much!

## Some words from the artist
Hello.I am [amiyoko](https://warpcast.com/amiyoko), a Nouns artist specializing in head art. Over the past 3 years I have created over 500 unique pieces of artwork.
A selection of my representative works can be viewed in the [Noundry Gallery](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/profile/0x1bd40b1d0bd65b12b2995dd6ad8f0334aa7ed83d).
I am honored to have already contributed three designs to the Nouns collection:
- [Beluga](https://www.probe.wtf/nouns?head=head-beluga&per_page=40&sort_property=token_id&sort_method=desc)
- [Tuba](https://www.probe.wtf/nouns?head=head-tuba&per_page=180&sort_property=token_id&sort_method=desc)
- [Shrimp Tempura](https://www.probe.wtf/nouns?head=head-shrimp-tempura&per_page=180&sort_property=token_id&sort_method=desc)
For this year’s 4th Nouniversary, I have selected four head designs as candidates: **Apple**, **Octopus**, **Sheep**, and **Walrus**.
From these, I will narrow it down to two finalists.
The final selection will be based on community feedback and preferences.
As for compensation, based on the recent average auction price of 1 ETH,
I would like to propose 0.5 ETH, which is half of that average.
I truly look forward to hearing your thoughts. Thank you very much!

1. This project will build on the proven social impact of Surf for Good and integrate it with the innovation of local adoption of Web3 technology. By supporting this, it will enhance the brand value of Nouns and contribute to its image as a progressive organization that combines social impact and technological innovation.
2. I believe that the proponent's deep roots in the region, being from Buzios, and plans to leverage existing community infrastructure (Surf for Good) will enhance the viability of the project.
3. The fact that the project aims not only to raise initial funds, but also to build a self-sustaining revenue model in the future through Web3 consulting and other means to provide ongoing value to the community raises expectations for the long-term success of the project.
In closing I would like to express my hope that this project will be successful and that it will result in a model that can be replicated anywhere in the future.

# 🎨 Noundry: Add Sneaker Head
*submitted via [Noundry Gallery](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/trait/66f4890423393e1fa52b09f9)*
This proposal adds a new **head** trait: Sneaker
---
**Why do I want to add Sneker to Nouns collection?:**
～Adding to Cultural Icons～
I would suggest adding sneakers alongside skateboards and cassette tapes as symbols of Nouns being subculture superbrands.
The skateboard head gives the impression that Gami-san (Gnars) and Bob Burnquist-san are pushing nouns into a subculture superbrand, and the cassette tape head gives the impression that the park is good vibes music and Benjamin-san shines in nouns town.
The addition of a new sneaker head in yellow, which is also the brand's color, may encourage further subcultures to flourish, such as street fashion and breakdancing.
Sneakers are not just footwear; they're a canvas for self-expression in street fashion, a crucial element in breakdancing, and a status symbol in many urban subcultures. By incorporating sneakers, Nouns can tap into these rich cultural veins, potentially attracting new community members and inspiring fresh artistic interpretations.
This move would solidify the position of Nouns as a superbrand that bridges various subcultures, creating a more diverse and inclusive community.
---
**Design process:**
Six major updates were made from prototype to completion.
- original
- [v1](https://warpcast.com/amiyoko/0xaa25374b) Color change of upper
- [v2](https://warpcast.com/amiyoko/0x56896fa5) Change of sole and mouth
- [v3](https://warpcast.com/amiyoko/0xc5ee1663) Change of mouth, upper color and sole
- [v4](https://x.com/amiyoko409/status/1831999848691962103) Restore mouth and sole to original
- v5 Changed to a yellow color close to the original
- v6 Change mouth color
From v1 to v4, a lot of iteration and time was spent exploring the color of the upper, changing the sole and mouth, and finally deciding to return the sole and mouth to the original.
[Explore upper color1](https://x.com/amiyoko409/status/1696327729065697779) [Explore upper color2](https://warpcast.com/amiyoko/0xaf18ae29)
For the v5, we pursued a yellow color that would accentuate the original upper color. Finally, we chose [fbc311](https://warpcast.com/indexcard.eth/0xcffb2bfd) , which had never been used before
In v6, we reviewed the blue mouth and tested different colors. Finally, we decided to use cold gray (adc8cc) to reduce the focus of the mouth.(Thanks for your help, Facu-san.)

**Collection addition criteria:**
- Simplicity Over Detail, It avoids excessive focus on details, shadows, and textures, keeping the design clean and straightforward.
- The design is scalable and functions effectively as a Profile Picture (PFP).
- Design elements do not invade the body preventing conflicts with accessories.
- It maintains a recognisable silhouette.
- It aligns with the Noun's values and has a universal meaning.
- It represents the entire element, not just portions or specific details.
- The design is built around the glasses rather than merely overlaying them.
- The official color palette is used, and the number of colours in the design is limited to ensure consistency and simplicity.

**Compensation:** If this proposal is approved, I would like to receive 3.04eth as compensation for the added head trait. This amount is calculated from the average price of Nouns auction in the last month.

I chose a darker color for the final handle than the zipper to make the entire surface of the bag stand out more. Thanks.

# 🎨 Noundry: Add Luggage Head
*submitted via [Noundry Gallery](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/trait/66fc7d7bf6bfc58239c451c2)*
This proposal adds a new head trait: Luggage
---
Why do I want to add luggage to Nouns collection?:
The addition of “luggage” to the Nouns collection will expand the diversity of the collection by introducing a new form of baggage to follow the existing bags and backpacks and give it travel symbolism. The pale blue color familiar from the emoji will become iconic. Also, the zipper mouth is very cute.
---
**Nouniversary art(2022):** Luggage head was one of the finalists selected by the Noundry Committee (4156, 9999, gremplin, solimander, goldy) to add a trait for the first nouniversary, and although it narrowly missed being included, it showcased its strong potential.
---
**Design process:**
Following the results of the final selection, we decided to make further improvements.
From original to completion, three major updates were made.
- original
- v1 Horizontal flip, color adjustment of entire bag, mouth moved down 1 pixel
- v2 Expand the lower jaw
- v3 Restore a similar atmosphere to the original while keeping the mouth intact.

**Collection addition criteria:**
- Simplicity Over Detail, It avoids excessive focus on details, shadows, and textures, keeping the design clean and straightforward.
- The design is scalable and functions effectively as a Profile Picture (PFP).
- Design elements do not invade the body preventing conflicts with accessories.
- It maintains a recognisable silhouette.
- It aligns with the Noun's values and has a universal meaning.
- It represents the entire element, not just portions or specific details.
- The design is built around the glasses rather than merely overlaying them.
- The official color palette is used, and the number of colours in the design is limited to ensure consistency and simplicity.

# 🎨 Noundry: Add Luggage Head
*submitted via [Noundry Gallery](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/trait/66fc7d7bf6bfc58239c451c2)*
This proposal adds a new head trait: Luggage
---
Why do I want to add luggage to Nouns collection?:
The addition of “luggage” to the Nouns collection will expand the diversity of the collection by introducing a new form of baggage to follow the existing bags and backpacks and give it travel symbolism. The pale blue color familiar from the emoji will become iconic. Also, the zipper mouth is very cute.

**Nouniversary art(2022):** Luggage head was one of the finalists selected by the Noundry Committee (4156, 9999, gremplin, solimander, goldy) to add a trait for the first nouniversary, and although it narrowly missed being included, it showcased its strong potential.

Hey valgtaylor-san.
If you remove the safety rail, there is a space at the top. This would give an impression of weakness.
But it might be possible to remove one of the side rails, like on the moum bunk bed. Thank you.

Hey necfas-san.
Have you seen the 3D bunk bed Sebastien created? It's a fantastic piece of work. If you haven't seen it yet, I'd really like you to check it out.
If you see it and realize it's a bunk bed, that might be a clue to the answer. Thanks for the good input.

This proposal adds a new **head** trait: Bunk Bed

**Why do I want to add bunk beds to Nouns collection?:**
～Nouns New Treasure: Evoking Memories～
The main reason for adding bunk beds to the Nouns collection lies in their powerful nostalgic effect. Bunk beds evoke childhood memories of late-night chats and secret conversations with siblings, while also symbolizing growth and adventure. They embody experiences shared across generations and have the power to create deep emotional connections that extend beyond the realm of digital art.
Bunk beds expressed in Nouns' pixel art style will stimulate personal memories while becoming a symbol shared by the entire community. They simultaneously express nostalgia for the past and expectations for the future, bringing new depth to the collection.
Moreover, the addition of bunk beds further expands the indoor decor elements of the Nouns collection, alongside existing [furniture items](https://x.com/amiyoko409/status/1682146995736309761) like couches. This enhances the diversity and expressive range of the collection, creating a richer and more appealing world of digital art.
---
**How the idea came about:**
This idea emerged from an unexpected source. It all started when I came across a chat in the early days of the Nouns Discord. A particularly impressive photo of a cool tattoo shared in that chat caught my eye. As I was looking at this exchange, memories of my own childhood experiences with bunk beds came flooding back. This serendipitous association led me to decide to express this nostalgic element in the Nouns style. I'm deeply grateful to Benbodhi-san and Gremplin-san for providing the spark for this idea!
SO MANY ACTIVITIES!!!

- [v3](https://x.com/amiyoko409/status/1793047728773042381) Width adjustment

- It represents the entire element, not just portions or specific details.
- The design is built around the glasses rather than merely overlaying them.
- The official color palette is used, and the number of colours in the design is limited to ensure consistency and simplicity.

Bunk beds expressed in Nouns' pixel art style will stimulate personal memories while becoming a symbol shared by the entire community. They simultaneously express nostalgia for the past and expectations for the future, bringing new depth to the collection.
Moreover, the addition of bunk beds further expands the indoor decor elements of the Nouns collection, alongside existing [furniture items](https://x.com/amiyoko409/status/1682146995736309761) like couches. This enhances the diversity and expressive range of the collection, creating a richer and more appealing world of digital art.

**How the idea came about:**
This idea emerged from an unexpected source. It all started when I came across a chat in the early days of the Nouns Discord. A particularly impressive photo of a cool tattoo shared in that chat caught my eye. As I was looking at this exchange, memories of my own childhood experiences with bunk beds came flooding back. This serendipitous association led me to decide to express this nostalgic element in the Nouns style. I'm deeply grateful to Benbodhi-san and Gremplin-san for providing the spark for this idea!
SO MANY ACTIVITIES!!!

# 🎨 Noundry: Add Boar Head
*submitted via *[Noundry Gallery](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/trait/6671552b1df7f739c103c5c9)
This proposal adds a new **head** trait: Boar
---
**Why do I want to add wild boar to Nouns collection?:**
\~The wild charm of brown-faced animals～
Attracted by the wild and powerful charm shared by [brown-faced animals](https://x.com/amiyoko812/status/1681771829856436224) such as bears, dogs, and moose, I decided to propose adding a wild boar to the Nouns collection. The boar's distinctive pig-like snout would translate well into the Nouns' pixelated art style, making it instantly recognizable and "nounish". Wild boars also carry cultural significance in various mythologies, represent ecological importance as a keystone species, and embody strength and resilience. Their unique blend of fierceness and intelligence adds an intriguing character to the lineup, while introducing new visual elements to enhance the collection's diversity. By incorporating this less explored but captivating animal, we not only celebrate the charm of brown-faced creatures but also expand the Nouns collection in a direction that is both visually appealing and rich in symbolism.

These are the creators I fell in love with at first sight at the sofubi exhibition.
I was proud to see David-san, who is respected by leading creators, working on Nouns sofubi
Also, the “point of discovery” that David-san always talks about is important and I think it would be fun to find plush in Harajuku as well. I kinda hate AEON lol.

# Nouns Merchandise Development Project: "a noun thing"
Hello, I am [amiyoko](https://warpcast.com/amiyoko). As an enthusiastic member of the Nouns community, I have been involved in merchandise production for the past two years, alongside creating traits for the Nouns collection.
In this proposal, I will introduce the "a noun thing" project.
By fusing traditional Japanese craftsmanship with Nouns' innovative concept, we aim to create unique and attractive products. Through this initiative, we hope to demonstrate our respect for artisans and designers, express the true value of the Nouns brand, and contribute to the sustainable development of the community.
We sincerely request your support and cooperation.
The "a noun thing" project aims to achieve the following objectives:
1. Develop high-quality merchandise with sufficient time and establish an efficient production system that meets community demands
2. Expand the lineup of items to increase merchandise options for various communities
3. Develop unique goods that fuse traditional Japanese craftsmanship with Nouns' innovative worldview
4. Embody the Nouns worldview more strongly through products that are "delightful to receive" and "long-lasting"
5. Express the true value of the Nouns brand and strengthen community cohesion through our respect for artisans and designers
To meet the demands of the Nouns community and expectations for high-quality merchandise, we propose launching a new brand called "a noun thing". This brand encompasses high-quality merchandise that embodies the Nouns worldview. Over the four months from September to December 2024, we will improve items and develop new colors, aiming to establish a production system that can respond to various community needs. This includes utilization at events from 2025 onwards, sales in physical stores, and incorporation of merchandise as part of styling in Nounish media.
Furthermore, we aim to be more than just a merchandise production company; we strive to be a brand that maximally respects traditional Japanese craftsmanship and Web3's innovative design. We believe that a brand's value lies not in how much it is respected, but in how much it respects others. Through "a noun thing", we will celebrate the skills and creativity of artisans and designers, and share their expertise and passion with the world. This attitude will form the core of our brand and embody the values of the Nouns community.
An effective distribution strategy is essential for the success of "a noun thing". We have developed the following plan, considering both the current sample stage and future mass production stage:
1. Sample (Small Lot) Stage:
- Main distribution targets: Key members of the Nouns community, event participants, collaborative partners
- Feedback collection: Gathering user experience and improvement points through social media
2. Future Mass Production Stage (Overview):
- Offline Sales: Nouns-related events, carefully selected physical stores
- Online Sales:Online Sales: Collaborate and cooperate with the seller Benjamin Latsko (latsko.eth) to realize pre-orders on the online sales [butter.wtf](https://butter.wtf/)
- International Expansion: Efficient international shipping will be realized by utilizing already registered, reliable logistics partners
3. Common Strategy:
- Target: Nouns community members, Web3 enthusiasts, Japanese culture fans
- Marketing:
・ Sharing product stories through social media
・ Encouraging feedback and experience sharing from sample recipients
- Evaluation: Regular collection of feedback and reflection on product improvements
Through this strategy, we aim to effectively evaluate products at the sample stage and build a sustainable distribution model for the future. In particular, by leveraging established logistics partnerships, we can minimize potential challenges in international shipping. Detailed plans for the mass production stage will be formulated and proposed separately based on the evaluation results of the samples.
In the recent [nouns retro round](https://rounds.wtf/nouns-retro/stats) , we presented a portfolio of diverse merchandise we have produced. As a result, our wide range of production activities and the high quality of the goods were highly evaluated, earning us a reward of 0.6448 ETH. Furthermore, we were honored to achieve first place in the rankings.
The community has responded favorably to the quality and design of our merchandise. Notably, in addition to inquiries about individual purchases, there were also voices hoping to utilize the items at events. This feedback became the catalyst for conceptualizing this proposal.
The warm support and constructive opinions from the community members have been a great encouragement for our creative activities. Drawing strength from these responses, we have renewed our determination to push forward with the development of even more attractive and valuable merchandise.

While this proposal focuses on the sample development stage, we are also envisioning the long-term potential of the project.
- Sample Evaluation: We will carefully analyze feedback from the community to improve products and assess demand.
- Phased Approach: This proposal represents the first phase. If the sample evaluation is positive and sufficient demand is anticipated based on purchase intention surveys and pre-order numbers, we plan to submit a follow-up proposal including mass production and comprehensive marketing strategies.
- Flexible Planning: We will adjust our product line and expansion plans flexibly in response to community reactions and market conditions.
For the second phase and beyond, we plan to develop items that further integrate the Nouns worldview into daily life. Specifically, we are considering products that fuse functionality with Nouns' unique aesthetics, such as hats inspired by Cones and Wizard Hats, semi-transparent tote bags inspired by the "Void" concept, and bath towels themed around "Abstract".
Additionally, we are exploring collaborations with Japanese fashion brands. Through these partnerships, we aim to combine Japan's refined design sensibility with Nouns' innovative worldview, creating product lines that appeal to a broader audience.
Through these new developments, we aim to grow and evolve the "a noun thing" brand while expanding the global influence of the Nouns community. Detailed plans will be formulated in future proposals, based on the outcomes of this initial project.
The following budget is necessary to realize this project:
| Item | Details | Amount (USDC) |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | --------------- |
| Total | | 21,094 |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------- | --------------- |
| Breakdown: | | |

| Sample Shipping & Contingency | | 687 |
This budget has been carefully estimated to ensure high-quality product development and smooth project operation. Out of the total 21,094 USDC, we have allocated 8,052 USDC for sample development, 8,235 USDC for 4 months of direction fees, 4,120 USDC for design fees, and 687 USDC for sample shipping and contingency. The detailed breakdown of each item clarifies the use of funds. Sample shipping costs include expenses for sending developed samples to community members and stakeholders, while the contingency fund is set to address unexpected situations and minor additional expenditures.
This project will be implemented over a 4-month period from September to December 2024.

# Nouns Merchandise Development Project: "a noun thing"
Hello, I am [amiyoko](https://warpcast.com/amiyoko). As an enthusiastic member of the Nouns community, I have been involved in merchandise production for the past two years, alongside creating traits for the Nouns collection.
In this proposal, I will introduce the "a noun thing" project.
By fusing traditional Japanese craftsmanship with Nouns' innovative concept, we aim to create unique and attractive products. Through this initiative, we hope to demonstrate our respect for artisans and designers, express the true value of the Nouns brand, and contribute to the sustainable development of the community.
We sincerely request your support and cooperation.
The "a noun thing" project aims to achieve the following objectives:
1. Develop high-quality merchandise with sufficient time and establish an efficient production system that meets community demands
2. Expand the lineup of items to increase merchandise options for various communities
3. Develop unique goods that fuse traditional Japanese craftsmanship with Nouns' innovative worldview
4. Embody the Nouns worldview more strongly through products that are "delightful to receive" and "long-lasting"
5. Express the true value of the Nouns brand and strengthen community cohesion through our respect for artisans and designers
To meet the demands of the Nouns community and expectations for high-quality merchandise, we propose launching a new brand called "a noun thing". This brand encompasses high-quality merchandise that embodies the Nouns worldview. Over the four months from September to December 2024, we will improve items and develop new colors, aiming to establish a production system that can respond to various community needs. This includes utilization at events from 2025 onwards, sales in physical stores, and incorporation of merchandise as part of styling in Nounish media.
Furthermore, we aim to be more than just a merchandise production company; we strive to be a brand that maximally respects traditional Japanese craftsmanship and Web3's innovative design. We believe that a brand's value lies not in how much it is respected, but in how much it respects others. Through "a noun thing", we will celebrate the skills and creativity of artisans and designers, and share their expertise and passion with the world. This attitude will form the core of our brand and embody the values of the Nouns community.
An effective distribution strategy is essential for the success of "a noun thing". We have developed the following plan, considering both the current sample stage and future mass production stage:
1. Sample (Small Lot) Stage:
- Main distribution targets: Key members of the Nouns community, event participants, collaborative partners
- Feedback collection: Gathering user experience and improvement points through social media
2. Future Mass Production Stage (Overview):
- Offline Sales: Nouns-related events, carefully selected physical stores
- Online Sales:Online Sales: Collaborate and cooperate with the seller Benjamin Latsko (latsko.eth) to realize pre-orders on the online sales [butter.wtf](https://butter.wtf/)
- International Expansion: Efficient international shipping will be realized by utilizing already registered, reliable logistics partners
3. Common Strategy:
- Target: Nouns community members, Web3 enthusiasts, Japanese culture fans
- Marketing:
・ Sharing product stories through social media
・ Encouraging feedback and experience sharing from sample recipients
- Evaluation: Regular collection of feedback and reflection on product improvements
Through this strategy, we aim to effectively evaluate products at the sample stage and build a sustainable distribution model for the future. In particular, by leveraging established logistics partnerships, we can minimize potential challenges in international shipping. Detailed plans for the mass production stage will be formulated and proposed separately based on the evaluation results of the samples.
In the recent [nouns retro round](https://rounds.wtf/nouns-retro/stats) , we presented a portfolio of diverse merchandise we have produced. As a result, our wide range of production activities and the high quality of the goods were highly evaluated, earning us a reward of 0.6448 ETH. Furthermore, we were honored to achieve first place in the rankings.
The community has responded favorably to the quality and design of our merchandise. Notably, in addition to inquiries about individual purchases, there were also voices hoping to utilize the items at events. This feedback became the catalyst for conceptualizing this proposal.
The warm support and constructive opinions from the community members have been a great encouragement for our creative activities. Drawing strength from these responses, we have renewed our determination to push forward with the development of even more attractive and valuable merchandise.

# Nouns Merchandise Development Project: "a noun thing"
Hello, I am [amiyoko](https://warpcast.com/amiyoko). As an enthusiastic member of the Nouns community, I have been involved in merchandise production for the past two years, alongside creating traits for the Nouns collection.
In this proposal, I will introduce the "a noun thing" project.
By fusing traditional Japanese craftsmanship with Nouns' innovative concept, we aim to create unique and attractive products. Through this initiative, we hope to demonstrate our respect for artisans and designers, express the true value of the Nouns brand, and contribute to the sustainable development of the community.
We sincerely request your support and cooperation.
The "a noun thing" project aims to achieve the following objectives:
1. Develop high-quality merchandise with sufficient time and establish an efficient production system that meets community demands
2. Expand the lineup of items to increase merchandise options for various communities
3. Develop unique goods that fuse traditional Japanese craftsmanship with Nouns' innovative worldview
4. Embody the Nouns worldview more strongly through products that are "delightful to receive" and "long-lasting"
5. Express the true value of the Nouns brand and strengthen community cohesion through our respect for artisans and designers
To meet the demands of the Nouns community and expectations for high-quality merchandise, we propose launching a new brand called "a noun thing". This brand encompasses high-quality merchandise that embodies the Nouns worldview. Over the four months from September to December 2024, we will improve items and develop new colors, aiming to establish a production system that can respond to various community needs. This includes utilization at events from 2025 onwards, sales in physical stores, and incorporation of merchandise as part of styling in Nounish media.
Furthermore, we aim to be more than just a merchandise production company; we strive to be a brand that maximally respects traditional Japanese craftsmanship and Web3's innovative design. We believe that a brand's value lies not in how much it is respected, but in how much it respects others. Through "a noun thing", we will celebrate the skills and creativity of artisans and designers, and share their expertise and passion with the world. This attitude will form the core of our brand and embody the values of the Nouns community.
An effective distribution strategy is essential for the success of "a noun thing". We have developed the following plan, considering both the current sample stage and future mass production stage:
1. Sample (Small Lot) Stage:
- Main distribution targets: Key members of the Nouns community, event participants, collaborative partners
- Feedback collection: Gathering user experience and improvement points through social media
2. Future Mass Production Stage (Overview):
- Offline Sales: Nouns-related events, carefully selected physical stores
- Online Sales:Online Sales: Collaborate and cooperate with the seller Benjamin Latsko (latsko.eth) to realize pre-orders on the online sales [butter.wtf](https://butter.wtf/)
- International Expansion: Efficient international shipping will be realized by utilizing already registered, reliable logistics partners
3. Common Strategy:
- Target: Nouns community members, Web3 enthusiasts, Japanese culture fans
- Marketing:
・ Sharing product stories through social media
・ Encouraging feedback and experience sharing from sample recipients
- Evaluation: Regular collection of feedback and reflection on product improvements
Through this strategy, we aim to effectively evaluate products at the sample stage and build a sustainable distribution model for the future. In particular, by leveraging established logistics partnerships, we can minimize potential challenges in international shipping. Detailed plans for the mass production stage will be formulated and proposed separately based on the evaluation results of the samples.
In the recent [nouns retro round](https://rounds.wtf/nouns-retro/stats) , we presented a portfolio of diverse merchandise we have produced. As a result, our wide range of production activities and the high quality of the goods were highly evaluated, earning us a reward of 0.6448 ETH. Furthermore, we were honored to achieve first place in the rankings.
The community has responded favorably to the quality and design of our merchandise. Notably, in addition to inquiries about individual purchases, there were also voices hoping to utilize the items at events. This feedback became the catalyst for conceptualizing this proposal.
The warm support and constructive opinions from the community members have been a great encouragement for our creative activities. Drawing strength from these responses, we have renewed our determination to push forward with the development of even more attractive and valuable merchandise.

nouns-merchandise-development-project:-"a-noun-thing"Hey Davin-san,
Thank you for your valuable comment.
"We don't want to raise 'awareness', but get the world to fall in love."
This is also an important lesson that David Horvath-san taught us.
a noun thing started from the desire to create something I fell in love with and wanted to deliver to people I care about. Items that are delightful to receive and long-lasting are just like falling in love. We hope to deliver such goods to Africa.
nouns-merchandise-development-project:-"a-noun-thing"Hey pipe-san.
Thank you for sponsoring me.
Not for the purpose of filling the world with "more things", but for nouns to become meaningful to new people around the world.
This is the lesson that David Horvath-san has taught us.
I am committed to creating things that make A Noun Thing meaningful to new people around the world, and I look forward to contributing to this vision.
Thank you for your continued support.
nouns-merchandise-development-project:-"a-noun-thing"Hey benjamin-san
Thank you for sponsoring me.
I have learned a lot from your respect for artists and your approach to making things. I respect you very much.
I have also asked some respected Japanese designers, who have also greatly influenced me, to help me with designs for this project.
I want to create a brand that respects artists, designers, and Japanese craftsmen.
