Nobuko Oyabu is a photographic artist and researcher based in Japan whose work explores how photography can give voice to experiences that are often difficult to articulate. She studied Photography and Photojournalism at Columbia College Chicago and earned a Master's degree from Kyoto University of the Arts. From 2002 to 2010, she traveled throughout the United States and Japan presenting STAND—Faces of Rape & Sexual Abuse Survivors, a long-term photographic project documenting the experiences and resilience of survivors. In 2003, she brought the project to the Hawaiian Islands through traveling exhibitions and lectures, including a presentation at a women's correctional facility in Hawaiʻi. These encounters deeply informed her continuing practice. Her subsequent projects include STAND Still—Visual Voices of Sexual Violence Survivors and the Yokohama International Youth Photo Project. She is currently a research student in Forensic Medicine at Yamaguchi University, investigating photography as a trauma-informed, empowering, and survivor-centered practice.

About Limited Editions
A numbered edition of only 10.
This is a Limited Edition produced in only 10 pieces worldwide. Each piece carries a unique edition number, with authenticity proven both digitally and physically.
Non-reattachable NFC tag
Each print carries a unique NFC tag. Its tamper-evident structure breaks if removed, so it cannot be transferred to another work.
Blockchain certification
Artwork details, edition number, and ownership history are recorded on the blockchain, preserving provenance and ownership over the long term.
Signed certificate of authenticity
A certificate bearing the artist's signature is included. Along with the print itself, it leaves you with proof of authentic ownership.
Physical × digital, dual proof.
Unlike traditional proof that relies on a handwritten signature alone, linking a physical NFC tag with a digital certification record delivers tamper-proof, far more reliable proof of authenticity.
Authenticity is certified using "Startrail," a blockchain certification platform operated by Startbahn, Inc.
