Emil,

Uit een folder van een spelenwinkel een kinderspel.

 

We hebben vroeger ook wel eens een spel gehad; ik weet niet meer of dat dezelfde was.

 

En misschien ken je deze ook al lang.

Groet,

Bert

Hallo Emil,

Elkaar al een tijdje niet live gesproken maar wel in gedachten.

Onderstaande link kreeg ik toegestuurd door mijn vriendin en dacht meteen aan jou, misschien heb je hem al wel maar toch...  Ik wens jullie het allerbeste en tot de volgende keer,

lieve groet

 

Astrid

Aloha, Emile & Anneke.  My daughter carved these pumpkins last year.  Margot was born on Halloween and really enjoys the holiday.  She works for a grocery store which had a pumpkin carving contest; however her entry did not win first prize.  She did get an award for most creative.  We collectors think she should have gotten first prize! 

Enjoy.  Jacquie

Dear friends,

I send you some information about the hidden idea about the three monkeys and you don’t have to valuate this new idea, I would like that you read the theory of the three monkeys ( registered) in the web www.3monos.jimdo.com (English section) and you tell me what do you think about it.

Thank you very much from Canary Islands.

Privet (it's hello in Russia) Emil!
One little Russian social network has common tag "three wise monkeys":
http://www.hobius.com/?subject=three%20wise%20monkeys

They are not collectors.

They only publish the pictures.

Dear Anneke , Emil

Thank you for the latest edition of the Newsletter.

The Guest Book is getting richer. Great.

What interested me most is the item in "Unique No Evils" corner -- UN62: coin-like medal with the Hindu inscription, coined in 1839, by the East India Company.

That is noteworthy evidence that the three monkeys already existed outside Japan, and they were known to the Dutchmen in India in the given year.

If you know, 1639-1853 Japan closed its door to foreign countries, except to Holland.

The East India Company, established in the concession called Dejima in Nagasaki, enjoyed its commercial monopoly.

The company bosses habitually made a courtesy call to the Sogun in Edo(Tokyo).

But none of them visited Toshogu shrine in Nikko, so far widely regarded as the birthplace of the three monkeys.

I do not think the Dutch knew of the Japanese three monkeys before 1853.

The Dutch three monkeys teach "see, hear, shut mouth"---proverb different from ours.

What is more, there is a picture of a balance. That is the scale used by the Egyptian deity Thoth, divine scribe to scale the weight of the dead pharaoh's soul at the divine tribunal. Well-balanced scale confirms that the pharaoh was the king of justice, and entitled to revival ---in form of mummy, and lives in a pyramid. The tribunal is called "Final Judgment", and the scene is depicted in the ancient Egyptian "Book of the Dead". Thoth can be a baboon, or an ibis.

It is my hypothesis that the three monkeys were born in Ancient Egypt. I need a definite proof. I am glad to have come across the UN62. If you know more about it--in what situation it was made and where it is now etc, please let me know. I appreciate.

Michio

Hola Emil: Quiere agradecerle la reseña que ha hecho en el libro de vistas el pasado 19 de julio sobre la exposición que realicé de mi colección de los Tres Monos Sabios. Aún no he tomado contacto con nadie de España coleccionista de los Tres Monos sabios y espero poder hacerlo a través de este mensaje. También me gustaría tomar contacto con coleccionistas de habla hispana. Un saludo y gracias por su página.

Ana

 

Translation: Hi Emil, I want to thank you for the report of July 19, 2013 in your Newsletter about the exhibition of my collection of the Three Wise Monkeys. I still have not made contact with any three monkey collector in Spain and hope to do so through this message. I would also like to come into contact with collectors that speak Spanish. Greetings and thanks for your website.

Hi- I was robbed and my favorite ring was from home shopping network the amedeo three monkey blue agate in silver cameo. I have been able to replace the pendant but unable to find the ring. I have called amedeo himself, home shopping network, eBay. And dealers. Do u have any other ideas? I am heart broken. I wore it a lot of the time. Danke schon    Wendelin

Ik stuur hierbij Jean-Marie zijn nieuwe aanwinst van hzz.

Is gemaakt door een kennis van ons die kantklosster is.

Moderne kantklos noemt ze het. Wij vinden het natuurlijk uniek en willen het aan jullie laten zien door het in het gastenboek te plaatsen.

Veel groeten van ons in België,

Isi en Jean-Marie

Ik wil hiermee iedereen informeren, dat Henny van ’t Hul heel ongelukkig is gevallen en dat ze nu met een gebroken heup in het ziekenhuis ligt. Ze is gisteren geopereerd en alles gaat zover goed. Maar het zal wel een paar maanden duren voordat ze weer helemaal mobiel is. Helaas gaat dus nu de tentoonstelling van een deel van haar HZZ verzameling in het Verpleeghuis “Regina Paces” niet door. (zie mededeling # 590 hier onder)  

Hartelijke groeten, Relie Reijenga Tel. 026-321 2018.

PS: post aan Henny’s huisadres wordt regelmatig opgehaald
