Chinese and Japanese Kanji Calligraphy Wall Scroll
This word can be used in many different ways. It is often used to express the next life (life in heaven or wherever your soul is bound for). So it does have a religious overtone. However, it can also be used to express your life in the future - perhaps during your present lifetime. It can also be translated as "the next world", "the next generation", "the time that is to come", "otherworld", or simply "posterity".
The second character on this scroll is an alternate or variant version. There's many different ways to write certain Chinese characters. You can see the difference between the most standard version (shown above the title) and the character in this wall scroll.
