The Design
About Let Parents Stay 書体
「Let Parents Stay」は、伝統的な漢繍（かんしゅう）をもとに制作された書体であり、貧困に苦しむ村を支援するために生み出された。金陵村には、出稼ぎに出た親と離れて暮らす「留守児童」が二千人以上おり、住民の多くが漢繍の技術を受け継いでいる。しかし、その文様は百年来ほとんど変わらず、地元の刺繍製品は思うように売れなかった。そこで、伝統的な刺繍のモチーフを抽象化・再構成して現代的な文字の形へと昇華させ、それを地元の刺繍職人が一針ずつ手作業で仕上げている。収入を生み出すとともに、現代的な視覚言語によって伝統工芸を次世代へ継承することを目指した取り組みである。

- Design Challenge
- Here is a breakdown of several classic elements from traditional Chinese embroidery patterns. They are abstracted according to modern aesthetics, to reconstruct classic elements, bring out the culture hidden behind the patterns, to master the unchangeable pattern combinations of traditional Chinese embroidery, and produce a brand-new visual language. Creating a typeface composed of extracted Han Embroidery elements and ask the local poverty-stricken embroidery workers to embroider the letters of this font through the techniques of Han Embroidery.
- Research

Also, the traditional Han Embroidery patterns have undergone little to no innovation over the past hundred years, so they can’t meet standards of the modern aesthetic, resulting in low consumer recognition.
- Inspiration
