Japanese and Spanish translations of our proposal details, along with our collection of Nounish Fanart can be viewed at AppNouns.com (AppreciationNouns).
This proposal is a continuation of the project initiated by the approval of Proposal 484 and Proposal 667. It represents Part 2 of the effort, following up on our previous work. We deeply appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal.
We aim to incorporate the Nounish colors frequently used in Nouns NFTs into new color developments for Kitpas, a Japanese art material brand. This proposal focuses on the following key elements:
Nouns 'O Clock Interview with @RobotFishGirl
I genuinely find this to be vital work. For anyone who hasn't worked with kids or education, it's easy to brush off a proposal like this as just 'giving some crayons to children' or something similar, but what you don't realize is how important creativity is to the development of children. The parallel that I like to draw that I think a lot of people in this space will understand easier is math. Kids have to do math throughout the course of their education, and a lot of us that have had that experience grow up, enter the real world, realize we have a calculator in our pocket at all times and ask 'Why did I have to learn all that stuff if I'm never gonna use it?' It's true, most people don't need those formulas, but it's not about memorizing equations. It's about doing the work, which trains your brain to think logically! It's the same thing as going to a gym to train your muscles, math is weight training for logic. Doing creative things, like these kids will do with these versatile tools, not only gives children training to think creatively- a vital skill across many industries- but it trains neuroplasticity, giving children the tools they need to solve problems without relying entirely on previous experience.
Kitpas is a water-soluble chalk product made by Rikagaku Co., Ltd., a Japanese art material manufacturer. We propose creating a collaborative package with NounsDAO.
a) Producing 400 Sets of Nounish Kitpas Packages
We will develop new Nounish colors inspired by the Nouns brand to include in a 24-color Kitpas set. A total of 400 sets will be manufactured and prepared for global distribution. This initial production can be scaled further in the future. Packaging will feature NounsDAO themes and designs, emphasizing collaboration.
b) Nounish Kitpas Color Tool
In collaboration with Midas and Afrideva, we will develop a Kitpas color tool. This tool will include a QR code printed on the Kitpas package, accessible via smartphones, helping users identify which Kitpas colors can be used to create specific shades.
Why This Initiative?
Makoto Tagawa, one of the project leaders, has color blindness and often struggles to identify colors accurately. This characteristic, shared by many globally, highlights the need for inclusive design. Incorporating color names and braille ensures the product is accessible to a broader audience. Additional outreach efforts will include videos and workshops to demonstrate the tool's applications and benefits.
This project is not just about product development; it is about fostering creativity and collaboration with children worldwide using the Nounish Kitpas package.

We have been building a strong foundation of nounish art workshops for the past several years. With the recent success of Prop 667 and the training of the first American Kitpas instructor (Midas), we are ready to expand our focus globally. Multilingual and cross-cultural collaboration has always been a core intent, currently expressed through our weekly "World Wide Nouns from Japan" and "International Theme Appreciation" audio spaces on Twitter/X.com, as well as through previous proposals.
The reason we submitted this proposal to create these Nounish Kitpas is not to commercialize and sell them. Please note that we are not just going to make them and be done with it, nor are we simply going to distribute them. Our goal is to create this product, deliver it directly to children around the world, and hold workshops using the Kitpas. This is why we have submitted this proposal.
We will track participation in all of our online and in-person workshops, as well as the number of distributed Nounish Kitpas packs and coloring books provided to children. Additionally, our Farcaster gallery and appnouns.com website will be updated to highlight Nounish artwork from children around the world.
This concludes our Part 2 proposal. Through Kitpas, we aim to expand the reach of Nouns and NounsDAO, fostering a world where creativity flourishes and Web3 adoption grows. We are committed to sharing progress updates and insights throughout the implementation phase to ensure transparency and community engagement.
We appreciate your attention and encourage you to cast your vote, whether in support, opposition, or abstention. Thank you!
