SBI Traceability's SHIMENAWA Implemented for Artworks for the First Time

SBI Traceability has integrated its blockchain-based traceability service, SHIMENAWA, into oil paintings by artist Izumi Owada for her solo exhibition at Gallery Sakuranoki in Ginza. This marks the first time the service, which uses NFC tags and the Corda blockchain to manage asset authenticity and provenance, has been applied to fine art. Visitors can scan NFC tags on display panels to access detailed information about the works, and buyers receive the tags with their purchase to maintain access to provenance and background data. The service was developed by SBI Traceability with support from digglue and IT FORCE.
