Nana Korobi Ya Oki

We had a enquiry from the US this week and was asked which kanji mean stands up eight times?

It is not always that straight forward to break the whole into parts.
The phrase has a meaning as a whole, a bit like a yojijukugo ( a 4 character ideogram)
It is basically the Japanese concept of resilience,七 = Nana = 7, 転び = Korobi = fall down or fail, 八 = Ya is an alternative for hachi = 8 and Oki comes from 起きる = okiru = stand up or get up
So it is more about the concept of falling / failing many times, but always starting over.
