Every moment of our life is unique and unrepeatable.
The Japanese ichigo-ichie is the art of making the most of every moment.

The icchi-icci associated with the Japanese tea ceremony serves to fully experience the present moment. It helps to appreciate ephemeral beauty; it teaches us how to anchor ourselves in the present with the help of all five of our senses, and how to block out fear, grief, anger and other negative emotions that are fueled by focusing on the past or the future. Practicing icchigo-icchi, we can notice the magic of coincidences and thus give meaning to independent events in our lives.

Everyone can hold the key that can open the door to attention to others, harmony and love of life. This key is icchigo-iccie.
