Miraculous Comeback (kishikaisei)

Scroll to see all 8 Japanese Miraculous Comeback tattoo designs

Here we offer 8 different hand-brushed Japanese Miraculous Comeback tattoo designs by Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase. For these Miraculous Comeback tattoo designs the fonts are different, but the characters and the meaning are the same. So order the style you like - the meaning is the same for each design.

Miraculous Comeback in Japanese is 起死回生 which is read kishikaisei. The four-character idiom kishikaisei meaning "Miraculous Comeback" is composed of the kanji 起 (read ki) meaning "wake up, rouse", 死 (read shi) meaning "death", 回 (read kai) meaning "return", and 生 (read sei) meaning "life". The phrase kishikaisei then literally means "Wake from death, return to life" and is used in the sense of a miraculous comeback - like a game winning home run - or any desparate situation where all hope seems lost but one still manages a miraculous success.

This beautiful art makes an excellent gift as a reminder of a great comeback victory or to remind one that where there is a will there is still a way.
