Stories have been handed down in different shapes and forms including words.

Stories have been handed down in different shapes and forms including words, texts, and drawings. What would happen if the four character idioms that originated from Korean stories meet Painting of Characters (Munjado) that have characters and drawings on them? A Korean four character idiom was converted typographically to express the story of the four character idiom in drawings. In terms of design, I was inspired by stationery products such as writing brush, brush rack, and scroll. Four character idiom and Painting of Characters (Munjado).

The four precious stationery things of the study (Munbangsaju) People who gathered for the meeting of story and drawing will continue to write another story.

이야기는 말과 글, 그림 등 다양하게 모습을 바꾸며 전해져왔다. 우리나라에서 유래한 이야기가 담긴 사자성어와, 글자와 그림이 어우러진 문자도가만난다면 어떨까. 한글로 된 사자성어를 타이포그래피로 변환하여 사자성어의 이야기(話)를 그림(畵)으로 나타내었다. 디자인으로는 붓, 붓걸이, 족자 등의 문방용품에서 영감을 받았다. 사자성어와 문자도, 문방사우. 이야기와 그림의 만남을 위해 모인 이들은 또 다른 이야기를 써 내려갈 것이다.

故事的传承形式包括口传、文字、画等各种形式。如果，用源自我国故事的四字成语和文字、画组合成文字图会如何？把四字成语转换成字体排印，以画的方式呈现四字成语的故事。设计灵感来自毛笔、笔架、卷轴等文房用品。四字成语和文字图、文房四宝。为了故事和绘画的邂逅而聚在一起的它们，将写下去另一个故事。
