ICHIGO - ICHIE #24
Original Stone Carving by Guy Junker
12" tall x 6" wide

$275

This sculpture is carved on natural stone and includes a hanging framework made of bamboo and jute. The Japanese calligraphy reads "Ichigo, Ichie" and literally translates to "One encounter, one chance" Ichigo-Ichie means that every encounter with someone, even a friend whom you see often, should be treated as if it were a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. (As if today were the last time you might meet) The underlying philosophy of the tea ceremony is perhaps best described with this phrase.
