FOR GOVERNMENT & PUBLIC AGENCIES
Festivals, dialects, disaster lessons, records of the forgotten—
Digital fades, paper decays.
Record now with TokiQR, preserve with quartz glass for a millennium.
The structural challenge of digital archives—and a millennium-grade solution
Servers, cloud, hard drives—every digital medium requires periodic migration. The moment budgets are cut, data vanishes. For government record-keeping programs, this is a structural risk.
The quartz glass plates used by TokiStorage have a proven durability of over 1,000 years (Hitachi & Kyoto University joint research). No electricity, no servers, no maintenance required. Proprietary voice encoding technology records up to 30 seconds of voice in a single QR code. Readable by any smartphone camera.
TokiQR is a free service that encodes voice, face, and text into QR codes. Anyone can create one instantly on a smartphone, with newsletter inclusion and National Diet Library deposit + GitHub backup included. Ready for same-day deployment at citizen workshops and community events. Bulk mode ($1/code) adds high-quality audio with no time limit and images with no resolution limit. A Special Feature Newsletter ($66/series) lets municipalities create their own dedicated series — citizens' voices accumulate in the NDL with each issue. Scale up to UV Laminate QR (¥5,000) for outdoor installation, or Quartz Glass QR (¥50,000) for millennium-grade preservation.
Physical layer (quartz glass / laminate), National layer (National Diet Library legal deposit — confirmed), Private layer (GitHub). Designed to meet the global data protection standard "3-2-1 rule" — 3 copies, 2 media types, 1 offsite. No single point of failure: as long as any one layer survives, the record endures. National layer deposit is delivered via newsletter (PDF serial publication), automatically archived through scheduled collection.
Records too large in scope for individuals to maintain—the full picture of a festival, systematic documentation of dialects, lessons from disasters, proof that the forgotten once existed. These are community assets that should be preserved as a public responsibility, with government taking the lead.
Five areas where government adoption is especially effective
