Yojijukugo (31–40)
single-mindedly; with undivided focus
Isshin furan is a Buddhist term that originally means casting aside distracting thoughts, focusing one’s mind on a single thing, and taking refuge in the Buddha.
It’s a phrase you might also see in first-calligraphy-of-the-year pieces.
Focusing solely on winning together and seizing victory is stoic and cool, isn’t it? And everyone working hard together on something is truly noble.
To learn the value of that nobility, why not use a slogan like this and have everyone reflect on the meaning of the phrase?
Single-minded focus spanning a vast distance
It may be a term you’re not very familiar with, but it originally means that no matter how far you go, you are under the same sky; by extension, it came to mean striving together toward a single goal.
This phrase was written by Miyamoto Musashi, the renowned martial artist, in his martial arts treatise The Book of Five Rings.
Just knowing such a phrase is kind of cool, isn’t it? The Book of Five Rings contains many sayings that are helpful for those who seek to master a path, so I recommend using this phrase as a starting point to read further.
recklessly charging ahead
When it comes to wild boars, they’re known for their momentum and drive.
The four-character idiom featuring the boar, “chototsu moushin” (reckless headlong rush), is also recommended as a slogan for a sports festival.
This slogan conjures an image of charging forward toward a goal with tremendous force, which can help boost team morale.
It’s especially fitting when there’s a connection, such as the Year of the Boar, a grade with many students born in the Year of the Boar, or a homeroom teacher born in the Year of the Boar.
win every battle
It’s really important to always have confidence in yourself and your team.
If you assume it’s impossible, there’s no way you’ll win.
The slogan “Hyakusen Hyakushō” (literally, “a hundred battles, a hundred victories”) is a strong expression of that confidence.
Winning a hundred times out of a hundred is incredible, and it seems impossible without tremendous momentum and determination.
By using this slogan, team members may be able to develop strong mental resilience.
Give it a try and see how effective this slogan can be.
Indomitable Victory
Slogans unique to sports days and athletic festivals! Here are ideas for the ‘Unyielding Victory’ theme.
At sports days and athletic festivals, teams and individuals aim for victory while honoring sportsmanship.
The slogan ‘Unyielding Victory’ combines ‘unyielding’ and ‘victory,’ conveying the idea of striving tenaciously for a win while facing tough moments and challenges head-on.
It’s a perfect fit for students determined to seize victory with passion, isn’t it? Be sure to give it a try.
friendly rivalry; mutual improvement through competition
Sessatakuma refers to the pursuit of refining one’s learning, morals, and skills.
It also means encouraging one another with friends and peers while engaging in healthy competition, making it a four-character idiom well-suited for a school-wide sports festival.
Displaying a dynamic calligraphic New Year’s-style design on a banner can enhance class unity.
It can also express relationships with classmates and teammates—partners who cooperate in team events and rivals who challenge each other in individual competitions.
Why not choose it as a passionate, fiery slogan for your sports festival?
Indomitable perseverance
Kennin-fubatsu is a four-character idiom meaning to remain unshaken by anything and endure; it’s read as “kennin fubatsu.” Kennin expresses an unwavering mind and a body that does not move.
Why not adopt it for your sports festival to convey the resolve not to give up even when things get tough? You could also use it with the mindset of calmly aiming for victory.
By the way, enduring with kennin-fubatsu and then launching into decisive action all at once is called “kennin-kaketsu.” It might be nice to use them together.
