Fall Down Seven, Get Up Eight

七転八起 (nana korobi ya oki)

The Japanese phrase 七転八起 meaning "Fall Down Seven, Get Up Eight" is composed of the kanji 七 (read nana) meaning "seven", 転 (read korobi) meaning "to fall", 八 (read ya) meaning "eight", and 起 (read oki) meaning "to get up". This popular Japanese phrase speaks to the importance of getting back up despite repeated failures and to keep on going despite setbacks.

In Even Monkeys Fall from Trees: The Wit and Wisdom of Japanese Proverbs (Vol 1) by David Galef, the author equates this with the English saying "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again".

This beautiful Japanese calligraphy is the perfect gift for that special someone in your life facing adversity or setback. This hand-brushed art is a thoughtful gift that is sure to motivate and inspire.
