Description by the carver Kukan Oikawa |
The monkeys which play the role of a religionist, a musician and a
scientist appear in this work. Moreover, this work satirizes the man of today
whom only others appreciate. A religionist is covered with the crown of a fish. It is a symbol of
Jesus Fish. Although he is talking alone, he is blocking the partner's mouth
with his hand. A musician sticks outdated clothes and wig. Although he flips a
violin, he is closing partner's ear with his hand and the long tail, will not
be able to tell the performance. The scientist has a telescope. Although he can see even a long
distance, he is hiding partner’s eyes on both of his foot and can't show anything.
I assert the importance of esteeming a partner, coexistence, and
harmony with this work. |
