About .ファッション domain
.ファッション is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) delegated to Amazon as the registry operator, with the backend registry services provided by Neustar. It was proposed as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. The application received a GAC Early Warning from the Australian representative, citing concerns about exclusive access to a common generic string. As a product, it is an internationalized domain name (IDN) string representing the transliteration of "fashion" in Japanese Katakana.
