Hong Kong Kiu Ka Public Light Bus Signs [Hong Kong Icons Series] Medium Sign Keychain Mirror Error "Preserving Craftsmanship, Passing Down 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 heritage. REstore has established a social enterprise physical store to bring small shops back to the community; the closure of a storefront does not mean the end of an old business. - 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, all these were handwritten on plastic boards, with even fares marked using "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 public light bus signs and is now one of the last remaining masters of handwritten public light bus signs in the city. The master is happy to incorporate new elements into traditional products, designing unique items like public light bus sign keychains and folders. He also collaborates with REstore to host "Public Light Bus Sign Writing Workshops," allowing participants to unleash their creativity, write their own personalized signs, and interact with the master to understand this trade that has witnessed Hong Kong's historical changes. - About the Craftsmanship - Meticulous Craftsmanship From design sketches to handwriting and polishing, every step is infused with care and attention.
