Never Again Shall Experience One Another

Japanese idiom

Ichi-go ichi-e (Japanese: 一期一会, pronounced [it͡ɕi.ɡo it͡ɕi.e], lit. "1 time, one coming together") is a Japanese 4-character idiom (yojijukugo) that describes a cultural concept of treasuring the unrepeatable nature of a moment. The term has been translated as "for this fourth dimension simply", and "in one case in a lifetime". The term reminds people to cherish any gathering that they may have office in, citing the fact that any moment in life cannot be repeated; even when the aforementioned group of people go together in the same place again, a detail gathering will never exist replicated, and thus each moment is always a once-in-a-lifetime feel.^[1] The concept is most commonly associated with Japanese tea ceremonies, especially tea masters Sen no Rikyū and Ii Naosuke.

History [edit]

The term can be traced dorsum to the 16th century to an expression past tea master Sen no Rikyū: "one run a risk in a lifetime" ( 一期に一度 , ichigo ni ichido ).^[2] Rikyū's apprentice Yamanoue Sōji instructs in Yamanoue Sōji Ki to give respect to your host "equally though information technology were a coming together that could occur only once in the lifetime" ( 一期に一度の会のように , ichigo ni ichido no e no yō ni ).^[three] Ichigo ( 一期 ) is a Buddhist term pregnant "from one's nativity to death", i.east. one's lifetime.

Later, in the mid-19th century, Ii Naosuke, Tairō (chief administrator) of the Tokugawa shogunate, elaborated on the concept in Chanoyu Ichie Shū:^[1]

Corking attention should be given to a tea gathering, which nosotros can speak of every bit "one time, one meeting" (ichigo, ichie). Even though the host and guests may see each other oftentimes socially, ane day'southward gathering can never be repeated exactly. Viewed this style, the coming together is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime occasion. The host, accordingly, must in true sincerity have the greatest intendance with every aspect of the gathering and devote himself entirely to ensuring that zero is rough. The guests, for their part, must sympathise that the gathering cannot occur once again and, appreciating how the host has flawlessly planned it, must also participate with true sincerity. This is what is meant by "ane fourth dimension, one coming together."^[3]

This passage established the yojijukugo (4-letter idiomatic) class ichi-become ichi-due east ( 一期一会 ) known today.

Estimation and usage [edit]

Ichi-go ichi-e is linked with Zen Buddhism and concepts of transience. The term is specially associated with the Japanese tea ceremony, and is often brushed onto scrolls which are hung in the tea room.

The term is also much repeated in budō (martial ways). It is sometimes used to chide students who become devil-may-care or ofttimes end techniques midway to "try once more", rather than moving on with the technique despite the mistake. In a life-or-death struggle, there is no take chances to try again. Even though techniques may exist attempted many times in the dojo, each should exist seen as a atypical and decisive event. Similarly, in noh theater, performances are just rehearsed together once, a few days before the testify, rather than the many times that are typical in the West, this corresponding to the transience of a given testify.
