永遠に心の中に eien ni kokoro no naka ni Forever in My Heart

永遠に心の中に (eien ni kokoro no naka ni): forever in the heart.

永遠に eien ni is the adverb forever, 心 kokoro the heart as the seat of feeling, 中に naka ni inside it; the verb is left off, as it is on a headstone or a card in either language. Japanese drops the possessor when it is obvious, so this is the more natural Japanese, and the closer copy of the English is eien ni watashi no kokoro ni, the same sentence with my spelled out.

Both lines are what the language produces whenever grief or gratitude needs a sentence. 永遠 keeps a slight formality in Japanese, the word of philosophy and of the hymnal, so the line reads a little higher than its English.

Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase brushes your scroll by hand when you order it. Each scroll bears her red seal, 英利, and her signature.

The scrolls are 12 1/4" W × 43" H (31 × 109 cm) with real silk borders and Japanese paper that are layered so the scroll hangs straight and will not warp over time. The scrolls themselves are made by Sankō (株式会社三幸) in Gifu prefecture, which has been making high quality scrolls since 1947, and we have worked with Sankō for over two decades.

Eri Takase was born and raised in Osaka, Japan, and holds the rank of Shihan, the highest rank in Japanese calligraphy, from the Bokuteki-kai and the Bunka-shodo. About Master Takase
