3 Monkeys Collector?: I collect 4 Monkeys only

 

Sunday, June 12, 2011 at 22:03h

 

 

Collecting the wise monkeys for me is a bit more difficult than for most and I'm hoping maybe you can help me or at least point me in the right direction. 

I have been collecting for only the past few years, but when I began I didn't want just another 3 monkey’s collection, so I decided to only collect sets with the 4 wise monkeys.  I occasionally find these on eBay but thought maybe I could find collectors on this site that may have some advice for me. 

How can I put the word out that I'm interested in the 4 monkey sets? Is there an organized group like yours that is dedicated to the 4 wise monkeys as yours is to the 3 wise monkeys?

I would appreciate any assistance you can offer.

Should you collect the 4 wise monkeys, just let us know and we will put you in contact with Suellen.

*  Who is the happiest three-monkey collector?

One answer could be: the one who collects attached items only!

But another answer could also be: the one whose partner is doing all the dusting!

(Reflections during a spring-cleaning day!!!!!). Yvelyne

 

 Qui est le plus heureux collectionneur des trois singes ?

Une réponse pourrait être : celui qui ne collectionne que les figurines reliées entre elles.

Mais une autre réponse pourrait aussi être : celui dont le partenaire s'occupe du dépoussiérage!!!

Ref. damage to the shrine in Nikko Japan

 

I phoned up and inquired Kanaya Hotel, Nikko, established 138 years ago, probably the Japan's oldest resort hotel in western style, whether Nikko area and its Toh-Sho-Guu Shrine premises (with Three Monkeys) were affected by the quakes?

Its public relation office replied to me that Nikko and its main attractions such as the shrines/temples and hot spring spas in its great scenery have no affects from the quakes. So its tourism business and transport access are going on same as usual.

Ref. damage to the shrine in Nikko Japan

 

Was wondering if the wise monkey shrine in Japan was damaged in the earthquake? 

 

Also for all those who have a K-Mart in their area they have a bath room set with the wise monkeys. Shower curtain, bath mat, owles, and trash can etc....

Emil san,

 

Awfully sorry, but I am not in the mood to cheerfully say, "Thank you for the Newsletter” I received today.  Monkeys on my bookshelves beside me have experienced the biggest ever shakes and also seen on TV the Gigantic Evils devastatingly savaging the north-eastern coast of Japan.

 

The Twin Disasters, the unprecedented strong and wide area Quakes followed by the overwhelming Tsunami on March 11th, and then the crippled nuclear power plant. 

 

For the former, we feel and heartily appreciate that the whole world have likely become One, showing enormous amount of sympathy and trying to give their utmost encouraging helps, including various kinds of campaigns to raise rescue funds in every corner of the earth, to the victim families in Japan.  The latter, however, has been facing serious problems and also, to our greatest regret and sorrow, harsh worldwide criticisms. 

 

Since March 11th, though we also felt the foreshock on the previous day, March 10th, we have been alert every day or even every 3-4 hours due to continual aftershocks.  So, I have actually been forced to get up 2-3 times at night even because of sudden visits of tremors. Most probably, tonight, too.  I, so far, do not know when we shall be able to stop flying our flag at half staff.

 

Nevertheless, I think there must be not a few among the subscribers of your newsletter, who are kindly encouraging and supporting Japan in this critical situation.  I would like to express our deepest thanks to those subscribers and well-wishers.

Best regards,

Old Godzilla (on Apr. 12, near Tokyo)

*   Vielen Dank für die freundliche Erwähnung des Drei-Affen-Zimmers in unserem Hotel. Ich wußte bislang noch gar nichts von dieser Sammler-Gemeinschaft. Aber die Vielzahl der Drei-Affen-Darstellungen ist verblüffend und auch amüsant. Unsere Drei Affen kann der geneigte Gast nur nächteweise sammeln. Quasi im Schlaf. Dafür gibt es dann aber auch eine Urkunde von uns bei der Abreise für eine Nacht mit drei Affen…

 

*  Thank you for mentioning the Three-Monkey room in our hotel. Up to now I did not know anything of this Collectors Group. But the variety of three-monkey representations is astonishing and also amazing. Our three monkeys can be collected overnight, virtually while sleeping. But for that you will receive on departure a certificate from us confirming one night with the Three Monkeys…….

 

*  Hartelijk dank voor het vermelden van de drie apenkamer van ons hotel. Tot nu toe wist ik niet van het bestaan van een groep HZZ verzamelaars. Maar het aantal verschillende uitvoeringen van de drie apen is verbluffend en ook grappig. Onze drie HZZ apen kan men als gast alleen s’nachts verzamelen. Quasi gedurende het slapen. Maar daarna krijgt de geinteresseerde gast bij het vertrek een diploma dat de overnachting in de Three Monkeys kamer bevestigt.......

 

  Je vous remercie pour avoir fait référence à la chambre des Trois Singes de notre hôtel. Jusqu’à maintenant je n’avais pas connaissance de ce groupe de collectionneurs. La variété de représentations des trois singes est étonnante et amusante. Nos trois singes peuvent être collectionnés toute la nuit, virtuellement pendant le sommeil. Et pour cela nous vous délivrerons un certificat au moment de votre départ confirmant votre nuit passée dans la chambre des Trois Singes…..

Dear Emil, only four more months until we, three-monkey collectors, meet again.  What better place in the world to meet than here in the high desert, over the hill from world famous Lake Tahoe, in Carson City, Nevada's capital city? All plans are in place.  We only need to hear from the thousands of three-monkey collectors around the globe what time they will be arriving on Thursday, July 14.  Please remind your readers to visit my webpage, checkout the program and simply email me to confirm their reservation (June 14 last day to register). 

Thank you.

Bruce Kittess

Hello Emil,
After reading about Japanese manhole covers in your magazine I used one for making a pathtag. Pathtags are the same as trolley token but you don't use them in the shop.
You can trade with them. You can use your own design and order them in China and after 6 weeks they arrive in a velvet bag in a box and then the trading can begin.
Most of the traders are from the USA and from Australia. In Europe we have them in The Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Portugal, England, Czech Republic, Norway and Sweden.
There are almost 17.000 pathtags made.
The website is
www.pathtags.com. And everybody who will join the club is welcome.
