About

The word 生涯 is formed by combining two characters: 生, meaning "life" or "to live", and 涯, meaning "shore", "bank", or "boundary". Together, they create a metaphorical image of life as a journey or a vast expanse with distant horizons, like crossing a shoreless sea or navigating the landscape of one's existence. The concept evokes the entire course or pathway of a person's life, particularly their professional or vocational journey, seen as a continuous, unfolding passage through time.
