Just like Louis Braille, Takahashi opened another door of promise. He connected the Braille dots by drawing lines between them. Finally, in 2018, Takahashi worked out a new set of letters. He named it Braille Neue.
“When I designed these letters,” he said, “I never thought they would be used by other people. I was going to use them only for some New Year’s cards.”
However, after he introduced his letters through social media, Takahashi received surprising feedback from inside and outside Japan. One person said, “I like the new letters, and now I also have an interest in original Braille.” Another said, “I’ll be happy if I can read Braille messages from a person with a seeing disability.”
