The Ghost in the Shell x Ukiyo-e series will be the initial to bring this animated classic to the blockchain via an NFT and physical piece of Ukiyo-e art.
LOS ANGELES , Nov. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Web3 MADworld’s innovative ecosystem is breathing new life into the 1995 classic animated cyberpunk thriller “Ghost in the Shell” with the Ghost in the Shell x Ukiyo-e NFT series. The collection consists of 500 digital drops which reflect the film’s iconic motifs and also involves a limited-edition Ukiyo-e print.
Made in the traditional Japanese woodblock style dating back to the Edo period of the 1600s, each print is an exclusive and unique work of art made beloved due to the imperfections, textures, shadows and depths which come from the manual printing process. Thanks to talented artisans, a woodblock will be hand-carved with images based on the “Ghost in the Shell” graphics.

The film depicts the activities of the Public Security Division 9 and members of its Cyborg Task Force as they fight computer crimes and cyber- terrorism in the highly developed network society of a futuristic 2029 AD. Collectors will have an opportunity to join the task force, with the iconic icon currently grace the digitized space.
MADworld’s Ghost in the Shell x Ukiyo-e Series will be sold as a set for $1,149. Customers will initially get an NFT after purchase, and the Ukiyo-e prints are then delivered to the purchasers.
