Dear Emil, today we celebrate a milestone with you; the 7th anniversary of your webpage you have titled an “online newsletter”.  You are way too modest. 

You are in fact the author of an electronic encyclopedia, an online book dedicated to the preservation of knowledge of the no evil symbol, especially the no evil monkeys.  Your writing is the result of a passion for nearly forty years; collecting all manner of figurines, pictures, postcards, advertisements, cartoons, newspaper clippings and other documents, all about the No Evils.

You have continued to add and edit and make improvements to your masterpiece and to publish your work in multiple languages a feat few would dare attempt. 

Emil, your website has brought joy to me and I am sure many other readers around the world and we are grateful for your achievement.  Bravo!

Hello,

My name is Ivan Stott. I run a professional Theatre Company making shows for children and family audiences. We have just commissioned the writer Mike Kenny to write us a new play called THREE WISE MONKEYS, based on the image, characters and proverb which will tour the South East of England and London in Autumn 2014 then tour the UK nationally to Theatres in Spring 2015.

Your website is very informative!

We'd like to tell the world about our play, and maybe even begin a discussion with you and the "no evil" community around the world!

Our website is www.hiccuptheatre.co.uk

Best wishes, Ivan

Hierbij een paar foto’s van de vitrine waar ik ca. 60 HZZ ingezet heb.Het staat in een verpleeg/verzorgingshuis

“Regina Paces”

Velperweg 158

Arnhem

Je kunt er zo naar binnen lopen, tot ’s avonds 9 uur.

De vitrine is in de hal, gelijk als je binnenkomt. Tot 6 mei blijven ze staan.

Heb al veel belangstelling gehad, ook omdat het op 15 maart, de Dag van de Zorg was en er een open dag was.

Ik hoop dat er nog wat HZZ verzamelvrienden komen kijken.

Hartelijke groeten, Henny

Do the no evil monkeys have racism past?

 

Little story 1st, I saw these no evil dogs while shopping and bought them and put them on my desk at my office, then a friend retired and left me her monkeys, found dragons and skeleton's and 1 or 2 more sets. They've been with me a few years now. This gentlemen approached me today and said he was offended by my collection. He said it goes back a way to where they had black men pose in front of stores, he said a couple of things can't remember all of it I was taken back by what he was telling me. He did say that he knows me and believes that I am not prejudice but he wanted me to know the story behind my collection - finally my question - does the no evil monkeys have a racism past. I don't want to offend but I would like to know so I can either put them away or let him know what I found out. Thank you for your time and for listening.

 

Comments from Webmaster
thank you for your message.

The three monkeys originate from a Japanese folk belief and certainly have no racism background.

More information can be found in our website in the section “3 Monkeys Origin & Meaning” on this page: http://www.three-monkeys.info/1/blogeng.htm

In 2012 a court in the United Kingdom has ruled that the three monkeys are not an expression of racism. Click here for further information.

Hello,
We have a matched pair of coffee/hall/entrance tables.
They are about 27inch high x 26inch diameter with heavy bevelled glass tops.
They are made from some sort of compound and treated to look like dark wood, the tables are on a swivel base, so that if used as a display they can be turned to select what Monkey is featured.
The history is they were originally made for the entrance hall of a house of disrepute in Florida, and purchased when it closed and transported to the UK when we moved here. We have never seen anything like them and are convinced they are an original one-off design. We wish to sell the tables and as we feel they are quite unique would like to see them go to a collector. They are located in the UK quite close to the Dover ferry port.

Thanks for your advice and help. Stan Stockdale

Comments from Webmaster
thank you for your message.

There is no “official” order for the 3 monkeys, but most popular is the way you suggest, hear see speak no evil.

Best regards

hierbij stuur ik jullie een adres waarvan ik denk dat het jullie wel bekend is
ik vindt het wel grappig om te zien hoe er commercieel verdiend kan worden aan het hzz onderwerp.

I sell Hand Painted Rocks on Etsy and Ebay but I am so glad there is such an interest in the Three Wise Monkeys.
I intend to paint more of my original Monkey now.    Viviane
