"一期一会" - One Time One Meeting

It is a phrase in kanji that is used in Japanese and emphasizes the value and uniqueness of each moment, as well as the importance of cherishing and making the most of every encounter. The idea is that since each moment and each meeting is irretrievable and can never be repeated, one should pay full attention and appreciate the opportunity to connect with others in the present moment, where every meeting is considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and is approached with reverence and respect.

What is the occasion for using it? 

In Japan, the phrase "一期一会" is often written in calligraphy and displayed in homes, workplaces, tea rooms and meditation spaces as a reminder to cherish and appreciate each moment and encounter.
