The Design Concept
TOO MUCH KANJI PROTECTS YOU LIKE ARMOR
An old Japanese story tells of a man who wrote KANJI (one of "three" Japanese alphabets) all over his body to protect himself from misfortunes. This design was inspired by the story.
IDIOMS WITH 4 LETTERS
In Japan, there is an idiom that consists of four kanji characters. Japanese designer kay has designed six phrases in a calligraphy style that show the meaning of those kanji characters as armor to protect you.
