Recently, there has been a retro boom, such as Fujifilm’s disposable camera or Instax, and retro artefacts have exploded into the spotlight. In Japan, the Shōwa era has been drawing attention from the younger generation in recent years.

最近掀起了一股复古热潮,比如富士胶片的一次性相机或Instax,复古的手工艺品开始成为人们关注的焦点。在日本,昭和时代近年来一直受到年轻一代的关注。

昭和时代 (The Shōwa era)

In Japan, every emperor is given an era name by the cabinet from a list of candidates created by bureaucrats based on a guideline. For example, we are currently in year number 4 of the Reiwa era, which translates to beautiful harmony.

在日本,内阁从官僚根据指南制定的候选名单中,为每位天皇指定一个年号。例如,我们目前正处于令和时代的第 4 年,这意味着美丽和谐。

The Shōwa era was one of the longest eras, lasting from 1926 until 1989. During this era, Japan went through many phases: militarization, destruction due to World War II, and a subsequent dramatic economic revival in the 1980s. This economic revival was one of the most prosperous periods in recent Japan, and people who lived through the Shōwa era now look back to these good old days.

昭和时代是最长的时代之一,从 1926 年一直持续到 1989 年。在这个时代,日本经历了多个阶段:军事化、二战造成的破坏,以及随后在 1980 年代出现的剧烈经济复苏。这次经济复兴是近代日本最繁荣的时期之一,经历过昭和时代的人们现在回首过去的美好时光。

However, they are not the only ones looking at this period. This nostalgia has been growing in recent years, even among the younger generations who didn't experience and live through the Shōwa era. Perhaps as Japan faces economic stagnation, these times of growth and possibility are creating nostalgia amongst a disillusioned youth. Whatever the case may be, as with many other historical periods, people will always want to look back at different periods to learn how people before them lived.

然而,他们并不是唯一关注这一时期的人。近年来,这种怀旧情绪一直在增长,甚至在没有经历过昭和时代的年轻一代中也是如此。也许当日本面临经济停滞时,这些增长和可能性的时代正在让幻想破灭的年轻人产生怀旧之情。无论情况如何,与许多其他历史时期一样,人们总是希望回顾不同时期以了解他们之前的人是如何生活的。

To enable people to do this, we need to be able to store this type of data for hundreds of years, allowing future generations to easily access it. Ideally, we should be able to publish this content permanently and make it easily accessible to all.

为了让人们能够做到这一点,我们需要能够将此类数据存储数百年,让子孙后代能够轻松访问它。理想情况下,我们应该能够永久发布这些内容并让所有人都能轻松访问。

用Akord存储和发布照片 (Archiving and publishing photos with Akord)

There are many ways to upload, backup, and share media, but the main issue is that very few of these can last long enough to outlive us. What if you could rest assured that all the data you archive will persist no matter what happens?

上传、备份和共享媒体的方式有很多种,但主要问题是这些方式中很少能够持续到我们生命的尽头。那如果您可以放心——无论发生什么情况,您存储的所有数据都将持续存在怎么办?

Akord and Arweave allow you to do just that.

Akord 和 Arweave 可以让您做到这一点。

You just need to pay upfront for the amount of storage required on Akord, upload the content and rest easy knowing your files are archived permanently. But instead of forgetting about the content, you’ll probably want to share it with others.

您只需预先支付 Akord 上所需的存储量,上传内容就可高枕无忧,因为您的文件已永久存档。与其忘记内容,不如与他人分享。

Akord also lets you ti do just this: once published to Arweave you can share your files in a stylish gallery view. Your videos and audio files can also be played in your preferred browser without needing people to download them.

Akord 还可以让您做到这一点:一旦发布到 Arweave,您就可以在时尚的画廊视图中共享您的文件。您的视频和音频文件也可以在您喜欢的浏览器中播放,无需下载。

Akord上的昭和时代 (Shōwa era on Akord)

Many incredible photos from the Shōwa era had been posted to Twitter by a now-removed account. With permission from the account holder, we’ve been archiving and publishing the photos to Akord. Had we not backed up all these photos, many of them might have been completely lost.

许多昭和时代令人难以置信的照片,被一个现已删除的帐户发布到推特上。在账户持有人的许可下,我们一直在将照片存档并发布到 Akord。如果我们没有备份所有这些照片,其中许多照片可能已经完全丢失。

You can find this extraordinary collection of nearly 10,000 photos here.

您可以在此处找到包含近 10,000 张照片的非凡收藏

This year, we’ll be releasing Akord Explorer, deployed directly on the Permaweb, and public vaults like this one will be shared and accessed there. What’s more, people will be able to follow these vaults, getting notifications on any activity like new uploads.

今年,我们将发布直接部署在 Permaweb 上的 Akord Explorer,像这样的公共保管库将在那里共享和访问。更重要的是,人们将能够关注这些保管库,获得有关新上传等任何活动的通知。
