Letterpress, as a traditional craft, even though it gradually lost its functional value, plays a role in psychological healing. Students who were introduced to letterpress found mental benefits in the immersive process. It helped ease anxiety, develop insight, and enjoy the slow pace of time. In the era of technological development leading to the loss of tradition, handicrafts are reborn in a symbolic, spiritual, and healing way. The revival of Letterpress in the practice of mental healing is pleasant and fascinating.
