Ikki no mei (一期の命 / いっきのいのち)
A Japanese phrase literally meaning “one lifetime” or “a single, unrepeatable life.”Nuance-wise, it’s closely related to the idea behind 一期一会 (ichi-go ichi-e)—the Buddhist-inspired concept that each moment, encounter, or life happens only once and should be treasured. When phrased as ikki no mei, it often carries a slightly heavier, more poetic weight, emphasising:
* the fragility of life
* its irreplaceable nature
* the urgency to live sincerely, because this life won’t come again
