Japanese saying ‘Cool mind feels no heat’ for spine tattoo

This Japanese saying can be divided into these blocks

  • 心 : mind, heart, thoughts
  • 頭 : head, mind, thoughts
  • 滅 : destroy, annihilate
  • 却 : suppress (desire)
  • すれば : if you do
  • 火も : fire
  • また : also
  • 涼し : cool

The literal translation is something like, ‘If you suppress your mind, thoughts and desire, you’ll feel even fire cool’ or ‘If you erase your mind, even fires will become cool’. It is part of a Zen teaching to stay calm and collected all the time. It is said that Kaisen Joki, a buddhist priest (1500-1582AD) had left this phrase before he was burnt to death.

It is known that Joki was indeed very calm. Before Joki and his men would have died in the blazing fire, Joki told them to set their minds at ease so that even the fire might be thought of as cool and refreshing.

No Machine Translations = No More Kanji Fail

Japanese writing systems require the use of 3 different alphabets; Kanji, hiragana, katakana, and therefore very tricky and many people end up with wrong/awkward kanji tattoos. Even a celebrity like Ariana Grande got it wrong. (I’m glad she’s got it fixed with the help of her tutor and she’s happy with that Japanese script tattoo)

For this reason, it is best to consult a native Japanese speaker beforehand whether the symbols actually conveys the meaning you have in mind. To help people get the right kanji and Japanese script tattoos, I started this online store  All letters here at Yorozuya.tech are verified by a native Japanese speaker, and you can download the letters right after purchase.
