Sode Furi-au mo Tashō no En
In Japan, there is a belief that we should cherish every relationship, even a small one.
The proverb sode furi-au mo tashō no en (袖振り合うも他生の縁) expresses this belief.
Since sode (袖) means "sleeve," furi-au (振り合う/触り合う) means "to touch each other," tashō (他生) means "previous/after life," and en (縁) means "fate/karma," the literal meaning of this proverb is "to touch sleeves each other is karma from a previous life."
In other words, this proverb says that we should cherish every encounter and relationship, no matter how trivial, because it is not by chance but karma from a previous life.

「袖」は "sleeve"、「振り合う/触り合う」は "to touch each other"、「他生」は "previous/after life"、「縁」は "fate/karma" を意味するので、このことわざの文字どおりの意味は "to touch sleeves each other is karma from a previous life" となります。
