危険を冒す kiken wo okasu Take Risks

Take Risks in Japanese is 危険を冒す which is read kiken wo okasu

危険を冒す (kiken wo okasu): brave the danger.

危険 kiken is danger, cited from 737; を marks the object; 冒す okasu is to do a thing knowingly in the face of danger, the verb Japanese also uses of defying weather and profaning the sacred, so the phrase has more edge than take risks: it is what a person does knowing the cost. It is a set expression with its own dictionary entry, and its roots are commercial: an 1884 etiquette manual translated from the American, an 1889 treatise on life insurance, a Waseda lesson glossing the English run a risk.

危険 is neither singular nor plural, so the title's risks has no counterpart to lose.

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
