According to Kyodo News Agency, Japan's "Meta Universe Promotion Agreement" announced on the 23rd that it is currently planning to gather old stores with a history of more than 100 years in Japan to open a "Centennial Department Store" in Meta Universe to support local innovation and cultural heritage. It is reported that the goal of Japan's "Meta Universe Promotion Agreement" to open stores in Meta Universe is to bring together hundreds of enterprises and promote the sustainable development of Japanese brewers and miso producers. The "Meta Universe Promotion Agreement" said that in addition to selling various famous items and specialties in Japan, this move can also enable people visiting the "Centennial Department Store" to understand the local characteristics and history through various commodities, and display the fine tradition of the old store to the world. It is reported that the "YuanUniverse Promotion Agreement" was established last spring, with about 50 enterprises and groups including Mitsubishi Commercial, NTT Como, Kajima and Kyoto. Central departments such as the Ministry of General Affairs of Japan, and local governments such as Tokyo Metropolitan, Nagano Prefecture and Okayama Prefecture, also joined the program as observers. An anatomist who served as the representative director of the association said that "free access to various places is the advantage of the metauniverse." The report of the Yano Institute of Economics, a Japanese polling agency, pointed out that the size of the Japanese metauniverse market will show a significant growth trend year by year. By 2023, the market size is expected to reach 325.5 billion yen, while in 2026 it is expected to exceed 1 trillion yen. (Xinhua News Agency)
