celebrating the last minute of singleness

I’m sure if one translated the title of this picture to Japanese, there would be some sort of one or two character phrase to replace it… elegant and very poetic - just like the visual delight of this photo.
I studied the Japanese language for nearly five years and throughout, I noticed that the DEEP meanings to certan words and vocabulary has its roots in poetry.
The Chinese have a series of 3 character and 5 character phrases that are like idioms to the language - the same as a cliche or pithy saying would be to the English language. Each phrase has a deep and historical meaning tied to the culture’s many myths, legends and storytelling traditions. Anyways, as admirable the languges are, both Japanese and Chinese prove to be very difficult languages for this Westerner to learn…
