Just got back from Japan and what a trip.
We met with partners, publishers, creators, and local users, explored the creative scene, and spent time at Design Festa.
One thing became very clear: despite the different language and market, the passion for creating, fandoms, and community felt incredibly familiar.
We came to learn. We left excited about the opportunities to connect the Japanese creative ecosystem with the global DeviantArt community.
Huge thanks to everyone who welcomed us and shared their perspective
