The exhibition about shop signs and Chinese calligraphy was held in Doshisha's Women College of Liberal Arts, Kyoto.
The project aimed to conduct an exchange and promotion of Hong Kong's street sign culture in the field of design and its aesthetics. The exhibition showcase physical shop signs collected from closed shops in Hong Kong, as well as introducing the heavy Japanese influence in Hong Kong's consumer culture during the 80s.
The exhibition design, exhibit catalogue and exhibition poster all employed a minimal and muted design, giving the attention and focus to the artefacts. The project was also my first exhibition to be organised and held overseas which was a remarkable and rewarding experience in my career.
