Swiss Army Knife with the
three monkeys
|
|
One of the pocket knives of famous Swiss
manufacturer Victorinox shows the three wise monkeys. A
nice-to-have item! Some time ago we contacted the factory store and
received the information that this particular knife was produced
for the Chinese market exclusively and that there was no way that
it could be ordered directly. That just left us with astonishment
about this, to our opinion, outdated marketing strategy. We now
notice that an EBay dealer in Taiwan is offering this knife to
worldwide customers. If you are interested, just click here.
This information is informative only; we don’t know the dealer and
cannot accept any responsibility of course.

Three-Monkeys.Info -
seven years old

On April 1, 2014 this website www.three-monkeys.info
celebrates its seventh anniversary. We
would like to use this opportunity to thank the many three monkey
collectors and other website visitors for their support with
information and suggestions that have greatly helped to keep this website
interesting and up-to-date.
If it is true that the average lifespan of
a website is less than a year, we think that so far, we have done
pretty well.

The

In
this website are many pages that are not so often visited. For
example a photo album with many Koshin steles with the 3 monkeys.
Years ago these religious artifacts could be found in many places
all over Japan. Makes one think about how much the Koshin faith was
influencing daily life. Although most Japanese still are aware of
the three monkeys, the younger generations usually have no idea
about their origin. More….
