Ichi go ichi e(Once-in-a-lifetime meeting, Cherish this moment)
This is once in a lifetime opportunity, known in Japanese as Ichi go Ichi e “一期一会“ a concept originated from Sen no Rikyu who is the tea master. Back in the war-torn era when he lived, life was so uncertain that they never knew when they would meet again. So he appreciated every encounter.
“Ichigo Ichie” is a Japanese term that emphasizes the importance of treasuring every encounter, as it will never occur again in the same way. It highlights the fleeting nature of life and the significance of each moment. So the meeting of “Tokyo free walking tour “is truly a once-in-a-lifetime meeting.
Do you know “Forrest Gump” ? American film released in 1994 played by Tom Hawks. This film’s tile in Japan is “一期一会“. This is selected as Japanese favorite phrase.
