Not only are these Ohara Koson Japanese art stickers beautiful, but they also come with bits of Japanese wisdom to live by :) The set includes the following famous Japanese sayings:

猿も木から落ちる which literally translates as "even monkeys fall from the trees" (nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes)

 七転び八起き "fall seven times, get up eight" (don't give up)

うえをみればかぎりなし 。 "if you look up, there are no limits (there are no limits to what one can achieve)

蓼食う虫も好き好き "there are even bugs that eat knotweed" (tastes differ)

井の中の蛙大海を知らず "a frog in a well does not know the great sea" (we make judgements based on our limited experiences)

水盆に返らず "Spilt water won’t go back into its tray" (what's done is done; there is no use crying over spilt milk)

花鳥風月 "the beauties of nature" (experience the beauties of nature, and in doing so learn about yourself.)

魚心あれば水心 "if a fish cares for water, the water will care for the fish" (if you scratch my back I'll scratch yours)

清水の舞台から飛び降りる "take a leap from the stage of Kiyomizu" (take the plunge)

二兎を追う者は一兎をも得ず "he who chases after two rabbits gets none".
