The Series of Tezuka Osamu’s Digital Art NFT - based on the manuscripts authored by the god of manga -
From the Fragments of Tezuka Osamu
Tezuka Osamu was a pioneer who established the base of manga now known as one of the most influential pop cultures. So far manga has contributed to the development of cultures all over the world, and infiltrated into a wide range of industries as well. In 1946, Tezuka made a debut as a manga artist though he had a medical degree. He continued to create manga works through his life to establish the realm of so-called Story Manga in postwar Japan. Furthermore, he conveyed his thoughts for universal but serious themes, such as importance of life, warnings on the destruction of nature, and criticisms against war, to the readers by means of manga, as an accessible and easy way to public. He was also a productive manga artist. Through his career, he drew 150,000 sheets of manuscripts for 700 manga titles. Such his works are still appealing to a lot of his fans. Now, “From the Fragments of Tezuka Osamu”, the digital NFT art project based on numerous manga manuscripts by Tezuka Osamu, is finally revealed as the official NFT works authorized by Tezuka Productions.

What's NFT?
NFT (non-fungible token), developed based on blockchain technologies emerging around 2017, certifies the authenticity of "one-of-a-kind data". Now digital art authenticated with NFT became transferable to third parson readily and freely.
The project consists of two categories, “Mosaic Art NFT” and “Generative Art NFT”, both in the motif of Tezuka Osamu’s representative works. The first series: Astro Boy, the second series: Phoenix, and the third series: Black Jack are released continuously.
The project has an aspect of a charity. Tezuka Osamu always thought of children. He kept writing manga for boy’s manga magazines even when his works targeted for adults were well received. He believed manga should be the thing for children. If Tezuka experienced today’s pandemic once in 100 years, he would surely do something to help children suffering. Therefore, it's decided that Tezuka Productions donates 20% of the net revenue arising from the project to public interest organizations (specifically 10% to UNICEF and another 10% to one or more public interest organizations). ---- <Announcement> We, Tezuka Productions, are happy to announce that 20% of the net revenue arising from the NFT project was donated to the following organizations in May 2022: United Nations Children’s Fund Tokyo Office (UNICEF) Amount donated: 10% of the net revenue (for children overseas) Ashinaga Foundation Amount donated: 5% of the net revenue (for children in Japan) Katariba Amount donated: 5% of the net revenue (for children in Japan) For further information, visit the following site:

Digital mosaic art : Background
For the creation of the art pieces, massive numbers of Tezuka’s manuscripts were exploited. Most of them were in black and white while about five percent of them were in color. In terms of the backgrounds, not only well-known scenes but also frontispieces not contained in the comic books as well as rare manuscripts hard to obtain were selected, and a total of 840 color manuscripts with another layer consisting of eight color frontispieces unique to each comic were arranged. No excess adjustment was made in order to keep the taste of the original manuscripts and to avoid ruining his brushwork. What’s seen on the background is a variety of his works and characters, from heroes to heart-warming scenes to seductive women.
