Never Give Up Japanese Motto Great Wave Enamel Pin

We've all been in situations where we could use a little helping hand, some support.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is just to keep going. That's when we find out what we're made of, when we fail, when we stumble, when we fall. It's the getting up and going again that's the making of us.

As the saying goes, if you don't fail, you're not even trying.

"Thomas Edison suffered 1000 failures, 1000 failed inventions, but no one remembers any of those because the 1001st was the light bulb." - Denzel Washington.

This enamel pin says 'Nanakorobi Yaoki' in Japanese which is a Zen Proverb which translates into English as 'Fall Seven Time, Stand Up Eight'.

The themes of our range of Japanese enamel pins are as relevant today as ever.

Resilience - Perhaps the most dramatic of all is the Great Wave, brilliantly embodying the Japanese motto ‘Fall Seven Times, Stand Up Eight’ which, with elegant simplicity conveys the importance of never giving up.

Balance - Two beautiful Koi swimming in perfect harmony accentuates the message ‘Beloved Person’ in Japanese. A wonderful way to let someone know they are very much loved, whilst promoting the importance of harmony and balance in our lives.

Transience - To remind us of the fleeting nature of each moment we have paired Cherry Blossom with the Japanese idiom meaning ‘One Life, One Encounter’ which encourages us to cherish each unique moment.
