Fall Seven, Rise Eight — 七転八起 (Shichiten Hakki)
This Japanese calligraphy scroll features the powerful phrase 七転八起 (Shichiten Hakki) — meaning "Fall seven times, rise eight". It embodies the indomitable spirit of the samurai: the unwavering resolve to rise again, no matter how many times life knocks you down.
