【No. 1642】Shoshi Kantetsu (初志貫徹 - Carrying out Your Original Intention)

Shoshi Kantetsu
Today I would like to introduce my favorite four-character idiom shoshi kantetsu (初志貫徹).
Sho (初) means "first," shi (志) means "will/motive," kan (貫) means "consistent," and tetsu (徹) means "thorough."
That is to say, shoshi kantetsu literally means that you maintain your will consistently and thoroughly.
Basically, this idiom is used in a positive manner and is popular as a motto.
However, sometimes it could be more important to be flexible depending on the time and situation.
Incidentally, the kanji character 徹 can be read as Toru (my account name).

Coincidentally, the kanji character 徹 can be read as Toru (my account name).
I feel "coincidentally" sounds more natural to me. "We didn't live in the same city, but we coincidentally met at the same restaurant in Osaka last night ."
"Shoshi Kantetsu" sounds like a great idiom to print on a t-shirt. Americans do that kind of thing all the time LOL. We taken Japanese and slap it on t-shirts, hoodies, and jackets. Sadly most non-Japanese Americans don't even know what it means.

Yes, some foreigners wear clothes printed with funny kanji characters, haha.
