Miraculous Comeback in Japanese Calligraphy

起死回生 (kishikaisei)

The four-character idiom 起死回生 meaning "Miraculous Comeback" is composed of the kanji 起 (read ki) meaning "wake up, rouse", 死 (read shi) meaning "death", 回 (read kai) meaning "return", and 生 (read sei) meaning "life". The phrase 起死回生 then literally means "Wake from death, return to life" and is used in the sense of a miraculous comeback - like a game winning home run - or any desparate situation where all hope seems lost but one still manages a miraculous success.
