Fine Japanese Calligraphy

The Art of Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase

Each Moment Only Once

一期一会 (ichigoichie)

The four-character idiom 一期一会 meaning "Each Moment Only Once" is composed of the word 一期 (read ichigo) meaning "once in a lifetime" and the kanji 一 (read ichi) meaning "one" and 会 (read e) meaning "meeting".

<i>%k</i> is a popular calligraphy display for the Japanese Tea Ceremony and for display in the family <i>tokonoma</i>. The art makes an excellent gift as <i>ichigoichie</i> reminds us to value each and every moment.
