Hong Kong Kiu Ka Public Light Bus Signs [Hong Kong Place Names Series] Keychain

"Preserving Craftsmanship, Inheriting Skills, Reviving Small Shops" Many old shops and traditional crafts are forced to close due to urban redevelopment, rapid economic transformation, and high rental costs, leading to the loss of community economies and historical culture. REstore establishes physical social enterprise stores to bring small shops back to the community; the closure of a storefront does not mean the end of an old shop. - Background of the Old Shop - Jordan Old Shop - Master Mak Kam-sang of Kiu Ka Advertising The plastic signs on the windshields of public light buses (Red Minibuses) display information such as destinations and intermediate stops. In the past, everything was handwritten on these signs, even fares were marked with "flower numerals." Master Mak Kam-sang of the old Jordan shop "Kiu Ka Advertising Company" has been involved in advertising design since he was 15. He opened his shop in the 1980s to produce minibus signs and is now one of the last remaining masters of handwritten minibus signs in the city. The master enjoys incorporating new elements into traditional products, designing characteristic items like minibus sign keychains and folders. He also collaborates with REstore to host "Minibus Sign Writing Workshops," allowing participants to unleash their creativity, write their own personalized signs, and interact with the master to understand this industry that has witnessed Hong Kong's historical changes. - About the Craftsmanship - Meticulous Craftsmanship From designing and drawing to handwriting and polishing, every step is infused with care and thought.
