This weeks quote isn’t a quote at all but a Japanese proverb or Kotowaza. The image you get with the direct translation gave me a kick and I though that you might enjoy it too!

The literal meaning of the Kanji above is “breaking wind, closing buttocks”. Translated it means there is no use shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. Click on the Kanji to hear it spoken.
