This
sculpture is carved on natural slate 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.
