Two people may appear separated, but their bond, memory, or spiritual connection can still remain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first half written on this shikishi contrasts 億劫, an almost immeasurably long span of time, with 須臾, an extremely brief instant. Despite apparent separation across endless time, there remains an inseparable connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phrase can therefore evoke deep bonds, spiritual unity, remembrance, and a connection that transcends physical separation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 24 x 27cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59146231021899,"sku":"SHP419","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/Cover_8a3c6045-bfe2-4ebc-9f8c-3584456c6bda.jpg?v=1793902218","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/es\/products\/shp419-japanese-shikishi-calligraphy-artwork-1994","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
