Sadondeko NFT Project
We aim to pass on the culture of Ondeko, a traditional culture of Sado Island
Project About
Five Niigata University students fascinated by Sado's Ondeko wanted to “enliven Ondeko with NFT art” and started this activity. By incorporating Sado's traditional Ondeko into digital art (NFT), Niigata University students are working to spread awareness of Ondeko and realize its cultural transmission.
Ondeko art
Ondeko Digital Art (NFT) is a digital artwork that expresses Sado's traditional “Ondeko” culture. Furthermore, the art incorporates a mechanism that allows the art to evolve as visitors visit Sado Island, providing an opportunity for visitors to actually visit Sado Island and experience Ondeko.
How you can contribute to Ondeko?
1) Share Ondeko art with your friends and spread Ondeko throughout Japan and the world.
2) By using Ondeko art as an opportunity to go and see Onidaiko in person, you can make Ondeko festivals more exciting.
3) Even if Ondeko has ceased to exist, just by having your art reproducing the appearance of Ondeko, the traditional culture will be handed down to the next generation.

Artwork featuring “Ondeko” from Washizaki on Sado Island. Ondeko is a traditional cultural form where demons dance to the beat of drums. This piece is composed of a combination of dance, the sound of drums, and the unique choreography and shouts of the demons as they perform. The patterns and masks of the demons are faithfully reproduced from Washizaki’s Ondeko. The backgrounds feature male and female “shishi” (lions) and the famous “tobishima kanzo” (yellow flower) along with the renowned Ono-game of Sado Island.
