Own unique NFTs representing the Japanese alphabet to access exclusive kanji learning resources, with traits based on school grade, stroke count, sentiment, and frequency of use.

Learn the Japanese alphabet by owning these unique NFTs inspired by the iconic The Matrix code. Choose among 2,136 common-use characters that children are taught at school (Jouyou Kanji) as well as certain uncommon characters (Hyougai Kanji). Filter by school year (Rarity), number of strokes (Complexity), emotional tone (Sentiment), and use frequency (Popularity).

Matrix Jouyou NFT holders will receive exclusive access to learning resources dedicated to the kanji characters they own. These resources will feature the history of the particular kanji and the most popular words or phrases containing it that are in use today, with specific focus on uniting various meanings and readings into one logical narrative. The roll-outs will start once a milestone of >20 token holders is reached and will prioritize older holders. At present, only unique, immutable Genesis Collection NFTs will be available.

NFT Traits:

Rarity. This corresponds to the school year the kanji is taught in: 1–6 for primary school kanji (1,026 unique Genesis Collection tokens); S for secondary school kanji (1,110 Genesis Collection tokens). H for Hyougai is the highest Rarity so far (4 Genesis Collection tokens). Rarity is shown by the color of strokes.

Complexity. This equals to the kanji stroke count. Median Complexity is 10.

Data for both Rarity and Complexity were downloaded from the English Wikipedia on June 9, 2022. Subsequently, they were deduplicated and refined with the assistance of ChatGPT.

Sentiment. This has been assigned to each of the kanji individually based on the combined subjective sentiment of its common meanings, from a set of six basic emotions: Happy, Sad, Anger, Fear, Surprise, and Disgust. They are apportioned approximately as 4:2:2:2:1:1. Roughly a half of the tokens have Neutral Sentiment. Tokens with different Sentiment have different background colors.

Popularity is based on raw character occurence counts from the Japanese Wikipedia as published by Dmitry Shpika. Popularity varies from zero to 1.7M occurences, with a median of 8K occurences.
