The cherry blossom, a symbol of warmth, purity, and nobility, illuminates the world with its radiant hues of pink and white. As its delicate flowers fall gently to the ground, they paint the world with beauty, reminding us of the noble ideals we hold dear. The petals, like a shower of hope, bring joy and renewal to the earth, inspiring us to run through the rain of flowers, from technology to the future. In Tokyo, where technology and tradition converge, the “Gritti Metathon Tokyo” awaits, a journey through the digital realm.

The MUA DAO x Gritti Tokyo Metathon Medal Design Flash Ops is about to start!

Designers are called upon to craft a medal that captures the essence of this blossoming beauty, one that embodies the warmth, purity, and grace of the cherry blossom. Let us take inspiration from this flower, as we embark on a journey toward a brighter future!

However, designers may choose to focus on creating a medal for one of the four available distances.
