Hangeul Design: Prototypes and Future of the Korean Alphabet
The National Hangeul Museum plans to hold overseas exhibitions each year in order to promote values of Hangeul culture, and these exhibitions, in turn, will be presented to the national audience later on. As the first step, the exhibition titled ‘Hangeul Design: Prototypes and Future of the Korean Alphabet’ opened in 2016 at Korean Cultural Center in Tokyo. The current exhibition is the first of the same title touring in Korea. The exhibition consists of ‘Part 1: Easily Learned and Conveniently Used’ and ‘Part 2: Limitlessly Altered’. The exhibition explains the principles of creating 28 letters, by combining simple shapes based on primary forms such as dots, lines, and circles, along with 8 basic letters.
