Aichi Stationery Ichigo Ichie Wooden Stamp

"Ichigo Ichie" is an idiom originating from the Japanese tea ceremony, meaning to realize during a tea gathering that this encounter cannot be repeated; it is a once-in-a-lifetime meeting, thus the host and guests must each offer their utmost sincerity. Beyond the tea ceremony, this meaning can be broadly extended to refer to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, that the present moment will not return, and must be cherished. The term "Ichigo Ichie" also frequently appears in Japanese martial arts, warning practitioners not to be careless or neglect practice by assuming there will be a chance to "try again." If faced with a life-or-death situation, there will be no opportunity to "try again." Furthermore, although martial arts techniques (like Judo moves) can be repeated many times, each match or competition is unique. — Excerpted from Wikipedia - Every moment in life is a gift, Each day, precious.
