Ikigai - A Reason for Being

This personalized prayer flag was recently purchased and sent off to its new home.

I love the word chosen by the client – IKIGAI.  A powerful Japanese concept, it translates into a reason for being, and speaks to life’s meaning; what is most valued; and what makes life worthwhile.

A chopstick made the perfect hanger, so I sent it along with a beautiful batik scrap of my mom’s to use as the tie. 

 As an artist, there’s nothing sweeter than a customer who is thrilled with their purchase, so I’ll share these lovely words:

“Yeah !!!! Received my prayer flag .... its fabulous in every respect .... color, texture, dimension, composition ..... it exceeded my expectations !!!”
