Shōji wa Daiji
We should be aware that even small things could become significant things.
The proverb shōji was daiji (小事は大事) describes such a situation.
Since shō (小) means "small," ji (事) means "thing/matter," and dai (大) means "big," the literal meaning of this proverb is "a small thing is a big thing."
In other words, we should consider small things synonymous with big things and be reminded not to neglect them.
In English, it can be translated as "Big things have small beginnings" or "From small beginnings come great things."
