2009 No Evil (monkeys) Art
with a “blink”

Mona Lisa in hear no, see no and speak no poses. We now discovered two No
Evil versions of Edvard Munch’s

different view on the Three Monkeys. Reasons enough to combine these
“Pieces of Art” in one webpage, under the title: No Evil Art with a Blink. Click

|
|
During spring 2009 Anneke & Emil
Schuttenhelm, together with Bruce Kittess
have traveled to Japan to learn more about the origin & meaning of the
three-monkey symbol and the Koshin
belief. During their stay in Kamakura, Mr. Tatsuro Gotoh has
accompanied them with great commitment and enthusiasm. He has published his
experiences about this visit in a website. Although all texts are in
Japanese, it maybe is still worthwhile to look at the photographs. Click
here.
|
|
October 17, 2009 The Guestbook
|
|
Since Mid-June 2009, because of a software error,
about 20 new entries in the Guestbook of this website were never published.
Very annoying for all who had taken the time to write a message. This
problem has meanwhile been solved and it now certainly is very worthwhile
to browse in the Guestbook. There are a lot of interesting messages, also
because No Evil items are offered for sale or are searched for. Click here.

more many thanks to the organizers, Isi &

That is a remarkable result. More news about this event is to follow in
this website.

2009 Japanese TV program
about the three monkeys
|
|
Yesterday we received three different
email-enquiries from companies that are involved with the production of a
Japanese television program about the three hear, see and speak no evil
monkeys. High resolution photographs of 3 monkeys from different countries
were needed within a few hours time. It was impossible to meet their
request, because we are presently on travel. We suggested that they could
at least copy information from our website, what they probably did.
Needless to say that we are a little bit flattered.
