The Book of Ichigo Ichie

By chance I found this delightful book at the library! I shared it with my teacher who told me his karate teacher just shared a teaching on ichigo ichie with him it! Some possible translations from the Japanese are “in this moment, an opportunity” or “once, a meeting”. Every moment is unrepeatable and therefore something to celebrate. By combining mindfullness, elements of celebration, meeting with good company, an inspiring place and timelessness we can realize and treasure wonderful moments that will never reoccur.
