Hello, how are you? I just wanted to let you know that a Norwegian billionaire has opened a top class hotel in Gothenburg called Clarion Post Hotel and in front of the hotel there are three 12 meter statues of 3 men that cannot hear, speak or see. It is wonderful and it glows and changes colors just like in Nice, France.

 

Maybe something that you would like to see?

Emil,

I just viewed the movie „The Artist" and was very surprised to see „Three Wise Monkeys" prominently displayed in one scene. One needs to stay sharp; those little fellows can show up anywhere.

Stay well and enjoy life,

Bob

I was in Japan many years ago. I thought I saw on the facade of a temple in Kyoto a sculpture of hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil monkeys such as the one in Nikko. Am I mistaken? If there is a temple like this in Kyoto, please let me know.

Also, I remember I was told that when the builders saw the Temple was so perfectly built they purposely put in one of the bricks upside down as nothing should be that perfect...Bad luck?

Any answers you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hallo Herr Schuttenhelm,

die Drachenbilder anlässlich des Jahres des Drachens sind wirklich sehenswert und sehr zu empfehlen.


Ihre Website ist mit Abstand die Beste, die ich auf dem Gebiet der 3 Affen kenne.

Besonders gefällt mir hier immer wieder die Aktualität und das Persönliche.

Neben neuen Affeneroberungen ist das für mich ein weiterer Grund, ihre Website öfter zu besuchen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Ingrid Launicke

I bought the 3 wise monkeys at a local bazaar. Shortly afterwards I was robbed of my two beautiful diamond necklaces. Are the monkeys known for being bad luck, as now I don’t know if I should throw them away?   Ann

 

Webmasters comment:

Hello Ann, sorry to hear about your misfortune. To answer your question: in Japan, the country where the 3 monkeys originate from, they are considered as a very positive symbol. They are messengers between the God in Heaven and the believers and are trying to keep all evil away from the people. Maybe the 3 monkeys have brought you good luck in the sense that you have not suffered any physical harm in this matter, “only” a very unfortunate material loss. We don’t think you should throw them away. We hope this answers your question.

Hello, I live in Canada and have 3 sets of the Wise Monkeys.

The wooden ones were a gift from my uncle in England but I do not know where he bought them. It might have been in California. The stone monkeys were also a gift and the little brass monkeys I bought here. If you wish you may use them on your website.                                                         Pat Marshall, Ottawa, Canada

2012 is the year of the dragon on the Chinese calendar. The sea horse is in Japanese TATSUNO OTOSHIGO. Literally “illegitimate child of a dragon”. As I am not familiar with the dragon, I chose a sea horse for creating my New Years card for 2012.

With my very best wishes, Michio Iida

I am so excited to find this site.  Two years ago I created the slogan "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, Write No Evil . . . But If You Must, Call Us First" for my law firm.  We even developed a logo (which I will see if we can get uploaded - hopefully you will get a chuckle), and we have had it printed on mugs, paper clips and leather coasters.  Clients love it, and I have gotten a lot of laughs and referrals from it.  My law clerk moved to Japan, and sent me some pics of the original Toshogu Shrine monkeys.  I was searching for background, and found you guys.  And you are meeting in my home city in July.  I am so excited.  I think I will have to attend the dinner.  Maybe I will bring some of my extra leather coasters, mugs and paperclips, if anyone wants them.

On the following site is my greeting. http://www1.kamakuranet.ne.jp/tgoto/nenga_h24/English_h24.html

 

The coming year is the "Dragon Year". There appear two castles.

The first one is Himeji Castle, National Treasure and inscribed to UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage. This is located in the city of Himeji, to the west of the city of Osaka.

The second is Azuchi Castle (now non-existent) built by Oda Nobunaga, an innovative warrior in the 16th century. He is one of the popular warriors in the history and often dramatized in movies and TV programs.

The third one is "Tokyo Sky Tree." Now this is under final stage of construction. It will be opened in next May. I hope the site works normally.

 

I send my best regards to you from Kamakura, Japan.

 

Sincerely yours,

Tatsuro Gotoh
