Is this translation very loose for the word 生き甲斐?


I'm a fan of the Japanese concept of ikigai and finding my ikigai has been an
important and rewarding journey for me and I'd like to get a very simple kanji
tattoo of it but I wanted to make sure that a native reader would understand
its meaning when reading it.

> 生き甲斐

is ikigai (reason for being) the first thing you understand when reading this?




理解できますよ。

例えば自分の子供や孫、登山や写真などの趣味、生き甲斐は人それぞれですね。

日本ではタトゥーは入れることは一般的にはあまり好まれません。

温泉など一部では入店を断られる場所もいくつかあります。
