Tabuse Masao Coin (hereinafter referred to as “TABUSE”) is a community-based meme coin inspired by the cultural context surrounding Creative Writing Space (hereinafter “CWS”), a newly established online creative writing platform.
Within CWS, users receive internal site points called Space Coins by posting comments and critiques on literary works. TABUSE is designed as a token that may be distributed free of charge at the discretion of the operating team, taking into account such activities within the CWS community.
In recent years, so-called “meme coins”—tokens based on internet memes or jokes—have gained global attention, and many communities have begun experimenting with their own token-based expressions. TABUSE is an attempt to visualize, as a cultural meme (i.e., a joke), the very situation in which a real-world literary community intersects with blockchain technology.
TABUSE does not guarantee any specific economic value, liquidity, future price appreciation, or financial profit. It is positioned strictly as a cultural and experimental form connected to creative writing and critical activity.
CWS itself is a creative writing platform designed in collaboration with generative AI and launched in 2025. Although still relatively new, it has already begun collaborating with publishers and has accumulated a growing body of literary submissions and critiques within the Japanese contemporary literature community.
2. Purpose of the Project
TABUSE has three primary objectives:
To explore new possibilities for meme coins grounded in cultural communities, approached with serious playfulness
To use the meme coin format as a hook to increase the visibility of CWS, attract sharp and experimental users, and energize the community
To explore whether activities on a creative writing platform can be connected to symbolic token expressions using blockchain technology
Many existing meme coins end as mere jokes or speculative instruments. TABUSE takes a different approach, investigating a world in which literary activity within a creative writing platform can be expressed and articulated through tokenized forms.
3. Meme and Character
The symbolic figure behind TABUSE is a character named Masao Tabuse.
Height: 190 cm
Weight: 150 kg
Excessively overgrown nose hair
Does not identify as LGBTQ, yet self-identifies as female and unapologetically enters women’s baths
Claims to be the leader of a nudist cult
Those who become involved with Tabuse gradually begin to resemble him without realizing it. Like a “mummy catcher becoming a mummy,” this phenomenon symbolizes how one is drawn into and transformed by the literary world.
TABUSE, bearing the emblem of Masao Tabuse—a monstrous figure constructed entirely through language—is an attempt to visualize the chaos, excess, and karmic depth of literature in the form of a meme coin.
4. Structure of Space Coins and TABUSE
Space Coins (Internal CWS Points)
Internal points earned by posting comments and critiques on CWS
Linked to badge ranks within CWS; accumulating Space Coins increases a user’s rank
Users may send and receive Space Coins between themselves within the platform
The operating team does not act as a party, intermediary, or broker in user-to-user transactions; all transfers are strictly peer-to-peer
As a result of site rules, the operating team may hold a certain amount of Space Coins (details governed by separate CWS specifications)
The total supply of Space Coins increases only through user comments; there are no other issuance mechanisms
TABUSE (Crypto Asset)
Users holding a certain amount of Space Coins may apply for free distribution of TABUSE
TABUSE is not exchangeable for Space Coins
Whether TABUSE is distributed, and in what quantity, is determined solely at the discretion of the operating team
In considering distribution amounts, the operating team may reference Space Coin totals, distribution, and CWS activity levels; however:
No fixed conversion rate exists
No proportional allocation is guaranteed
No right to claim distribution is granted to users
TABUSE follows a one-directional design philosophy: Space Coins may serve as contextual background for TABUSE, but TABUSE will not increase Space Coins, nor be convertible back into them
The operating team may retain a certain amount of TABUSE for operational reasons
A portion of the TABUSE held by the operating team may, in some cases, be placed in a state where third-party transactions can occur on decentralized exchange protocols
Indicative Holding Ratios (Current Assumptions)
These figures are indicative only and are not guaranteed for the future.
The operating team may hold more than 50% of the total supply
Approximately 20% may be placed in a state where third-party transactions on decentralized protocols are possible
Approximately 30% may be distributed free of charge to users
5. Token Design and Supply Model
A defining feature of TABUSE is that the activity level of the CWS community may influence TABUSE’s design and operational policies in a symbolic and cultural sense.
CWS adopts a rule whereby increased commenting activity leads to increased issuance of Space Coins
Users holding a certain amount of Space Coins may apply for free distribution of TABUSE
Community activity and Space Coin distribution may serve as reference material for the operating team when determining distribution policies
The initial total supply of TABUSE is set at 10,000.0 TABUSE.
The supply of TABUSE (including any future additional issuance) will not change automatically or mechanically in response to user actions. Any review of supply will be conducted cautiously by the operating team at intervals such as annually.
Even if supply is revised, holding TABUSE does not guarantee financial gain, future appreciation, or any specific economic outcome.
The maximum supply cap for TABUSE is 100,000 tokens.
(According to guidance related to Japan’s crypto asset exchange regulations, token issuance with a total supply—including divisibility—below one million units is, in some cases, considered outside the scope of crypto asset exchange business regulations.)

9. Conclusion and Vision
TABUSE is an experiment that bridges literature and meme economics.
Comments and critiques become sources of cultural value
Holding a token can function as symbolic support for literary creation
Tokenized forms may stimulate new imaginative possibilities within creative writing communities
Playfulness and seriousness, critique and laughter, community and blockchain—
TABUSE reconnects these elements and offers a question to the future of creation:
A meme coin born from creative writing.
Finally, this project is, at its core, a meme (a joke).
Please refrain from taking the joke too seriously.
This page explains how to receive TABUSE (Tabuse Masao Coin).
TABUSE is not for sale and does not guarantee any financial value or profit.

Submitting an application does not guarantee distribution.
Step 3: Distribution
If distribution is approved, TABUSE will be sent directly from the administrators’ wallet to the specified Solana address.
TABUSE may be sent without prior notice.

7. Final Notes
TABUSE is not something you need to have, and not having it does not put you at any disadvantage.

TABUSE is a small cultural experiment meant to be casually observed and enjoyed by those who find it interesting.
That said, we are happy if you choose to receive it.
