Weet iemand iets over het vijfde aapje? Die zich onder de oksel krabt?

Comments from Webmaster

Hallo, het vijfde aapje is een kunstfiguur en het staat elke artiest vrij om er zelf iets van te maken.

Hier zijn een aantal voorbeelden: https://three-monkeys.info/1/COLL/SPECIALS/5monkeys.htm

Als je geinteresseerd bent, neem dan contact met ons op. De prijs is geen groot thema. Weg is weg (helaas). Email aan b.dielman@icloud.com

IF WE HAVE ONLY ONE OF THE MONKEYS, IS IT GOOD OR BAD FOR US?

Comments from Webmaster

Hear no evil

see no evil

speak no evil

Any of the three wise monkeys is good for you, but their strength is in de combination of the three together.

The three monkeys are apparently much older. In Nahariya, Israel ,a juglet with a monkey covering its eyes was found in an archaeological excavation. The juglet is dated to the Middle Bronze (Caananite), 17th-19th century BCE – 3700-3900 years ago. Two other sister monkeys were not found. The monkey is kept in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.

Comments from Webmaster

Thank you for this interesting information.

Single figurines that close either eyes, ears or mouth have been found in various cultures all over the world, in countries like for example Egypt, India, Cambodia, Peru, Mexico etc.

But until the two other “missing” ones are also found, single items do not provide sufficient proof that such figurines were part of the three no evil monkeys symbol.

Thank you for your interest in the three wise monkeys.

Hallo HZZ verzamelaars, 

Nog lang niet iedereen heeft zich opgegeven voor de verzameldag op 28 september 2019. Wij begrijpen heel goed dat het nog een hele poos duurt het lijkt ver weg maar om iets leuks te willen organiseren is het kort.

Als het mogelijk is zouden jullie willen reageren hierop. Er kan natuurlijk altijd iets tussenkomen, ook als je zeker niet aanwezig kan zijn graag even een bericht.

Wij hopen dan ook dat er vele verzamelaars naar Goirle komen. 

Wij hebben voor 28 september een leuke locatie gevonden in Goirle. Zodra we weten hoeveel personen zich aanmelden kunnen we een dagindeling maken.

Als we de planning rond hebben krijgen jullie bericht. 

Graag tot 28 september in Goirle. 

Groeten Bert en Ans van der Wielen

WHO CAN HELP?

I have been searching high and low for a particular set: Three wise monkeys magnets that sit inside of another magnet that says “This place is a zoo”
My grandfather to passed many years ago had this exact magnet and it was lost some time ago. It’s very sentimental to me and if you have any leads on where to find this or if you have one please let me know. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give.

This place is a zoo

Three wise monkeys

This is an important source of Godly concept views to know and to clarify the Spiritual ideas. To know the concept of Meditation and Cosmic Energy and it's Power.

Hello and thank you for your time. I went to a spiritualist church and received a message via a medium who give me the 3 wise monkeys in this message. This happened on the Wednesday. On the Friday by accident I banged a cupboard door into my mouth, on the Saturday I was stabbed in the eye by the corner of a photograph I kissed. on the Sunday I was doing my hair and burnt the tip of my ear with the hot irons.( speak no evil. see no evil and hear no evil )a week later I was in an area I would not normally have been and went into a shop the 1st item I saw was a t-shirt with the image of the 3 wise monkeys.( I bought it )I play a game on my iPad which you have to open rooms then find items inside the room. I have been playing for years and it can take weeks to months to open any one room. I opened one and whilst looking for the objects I found yes the 3 wise monkeys. Why is this happening? Thank you

I am offering a couple of three monkey items and wonder if it's appropriate to let you or your members know about them? One is a Meiji Period monkey totem and the other is a trio of kokeshi dolls seeing, hearing and speaking no evil.

Hallo verzamelaars!

Het heeft wat lang geduurd voordat jullie iets van ons vernamen, maar nu gaan we echt los, in Oss! Je kunt je nu meteen aanmelden: DOEN, het wordt weer gezellig!

Wij willen jullie een leuk programma aanbieden, niet te uitgebreid, niet te duur. Daarvoor hebben we het Wijkcentrum Schadewijk gereserveerd. http://www.wijkcentrumschadewijk.nl/

Wat wij ook willen is nieuwe verzamelaars zoeken. Daarom de vraag of jullie een oproep willen plaatsen in jullie omgeving: een weekblad/regiokrantje/wijkblad of de supermarkt.

Voorbeeld:

Spaar jij Horen, zien en zwijgen beeldjes? Of ken je iemand die dat doet?

Stuur dan een mail naar dvangrinsven@outlook.com dan ontvang je informatie en een uitnodiging voor de verzamelaarsdag op 2 juni in Oss. Natuurlijk kun je daar ook beeldjes ruilen.

Een variant mag ook als je dat beter vindt!

We hopen dan veel nieuwelingen te verwelkomen, maar jullie verwachten we natuurlijk zeker!

Fijne paasdagen allemaal!

Groeten,

Kees Hermsen en Dimphy van Grinsven

Hello,

My late grandmother left my mom and me a few beloved pieces. 3 monkey lamp was my most prized. My mom allowed me to take the lamp and my wife and I treasured her. My mom passed away unexpectedly and we ended up moving home from Colorado. The move was awful my lamp was broken in the process. I found one image similar and traced it back to you.

Can you help me locate this lamp?

Hello from Russia!

I found a mention of three monkeys in classical Japanese literature. In the "Collection of Sand and Pebbles" or "Shasekishu" (Kamakura period, 1279-83) at the end of the scroll V there is a parable and a poem about three monkeys:

"One person has lifelongly raised three monkeys, but he more need a fourth monkey."

Iwazaru-to

Mizaru-to kikazaru

Yo-ni wa ari

Omowazaru-oba

Imaza minu kana

[monkey] "Do not speak",

[monkey] "Do not see," [monkey] "Do not listen" -

They are found in nature,

But [monkey] "Do not want"

No one has met

"Shasekishu" dates very surely, so we can say that the symbolism of the three monkeys was known to Buddhists of Japan in the 13th century.

No Evil Monkey Conference 2017

To All the "Evil Monkey Attendees" :

I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed meeting all of you, and how much I enjoyed seeing the two collections from both the Walker's lovely home, and also the Ottinger's. Thanks for two lovely meals, the fellowship, and sharing the "civility" of what the "monkeys" really represent. And my special thanks to Bruce for even telling me about the "Monkey Convention" and initially inviting me to attend several years ago when it was in KCKs before this convention. It was amazing that such a vast array of people from all types of backgrounds can find common ground on the wondrous philosophy of the "3 monkeys"....wish the world was really like that everywhere!

Again, thanks to all for a delightful time, two fabulous meals, and the sharing of fellowship and good will. I'll do that again! Blessings to all!

Before the meeting in Kansas City, I went through my Monkey research folder to brush up on the Monkey lore.  I looked at a few articles, but quickly realized that all I needed to do was read through your Frequently Asked Questions.  That is one of the best writings I have ever read.  It tells you everything you need to know and nothing you don't need to know.  And I am honored to say I know the author.

Whenever I refer someone to THE website, I always tell them to read your excellent work.

Thank you for all you have done for people who love their monkeys.

Bonjour,

Merci pour toutes ces informations. Je voudrais savoir où est le meilleur endroit pour mettre les 3 singes dans une maison? Y a-t-il un endroit privilégié?

Merci d'avance.

Comments from Webmaster

Bonjour Christine,

Merci de nous contacter. Il serait préférable de demander aux trois singes quel emplacement dans votre maison ils préféreraient. Mais malheureusement, ils ne vous entendrez pas, ne vous verront pas et ne vous parleront pas. Nous devons donc prendre la décision pour eux. Sur la base de l'expérience, le salon ou la chambre sont les meilleurs endroits, en fonction de la pièce où vous passez plus de temps. Dans tous les cas, il est conseillé de positionner les 3 singes tournés vers l'est, car c'est la direction d'où ils se sont inspirés. Et cela depuis plusieurs siècles.
Je souhaite que l'esprit des trois singes soit toujours avec vous.

Cordialement,

So there are 4 monkey's; see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, do no evil. So why is there no fifth monkey? One that could easily represent committing evil? I know you probably wont know but it's still something to mull over.

mijn vader doet zijn volledige collectie HHZ-beeldjes (+/- 500 stuks, ook veel met 4 aapjes) van de hand wegens verhuis naar een rusthuis. Is er iemand in jullie vereniging geïnteresseerd om deze collectie over te kopen?
Mvg,

Hi,
we spoke a long time ago about my coffee tables, I have still got them, but now due to a move I must part with them, would like to see them go to a collector, and open to any offers. See earlier message here below.

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

I am a journalist. I would like to use the image below in an article I have written for a piece to be published in the Times of Israel newspaper that deals with 'an attempt to hide the truth by killing the messenger – or in the case at hand, the whistle-blower…'

Can you give me permission?  If so, would it be enough to say

Hello Daniella,

Thanks for asking.

It is OK to use this photo for your article with the Photo Credit mentioning.

When published, can you send me a link to your article?

Reply from Daniella

Thanks Emile, You have a great indeed unique hobby.

Here is the link to the column which was just published of Backpage News from the Front, special columns that combine all the zany things Israeli do, and galling, touching or downright bizarre aspects of the current heightened conflict – weekly columns that are hosted by Chelm-on-the-Med Online (also published in the Times of Israel).  

If you like this odd perspective of Israel – hardly what you get in the news – by all means share with your friends in Switzerland.

This is the permanent URL to the March 3-9 column on the Chelm-on-the-Med Online website – just posted.

http://www.chelm-on-the-med.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=275&Itemid=275

This is the 'gateway' to my columns in the Times of Israel, where the latest column should be up in a few hours - after the editorial staff review the piece.

Greetings from Homestead FL, USA
I am interested in purchasing an African 3 monkeys mask and I saw some beautiful images on your site,
Any suggestions on where I can look?

Comments from Webmaster

Thanks for your question. The best suggestion I can think of, is to frequently search in EBay for monkey mask or monkeys mask. If that does not bring useful results, try with “3 monkeys” mask and “three monkeys” mask

It is possible that you will have to be patient for some time, but one day it will work.

Don’t forget to send me a picture when you finally have succeeded.

zware houten hzz aapjes (ebbenhout?, zwart hout)
met de hand gemaakt
afmetingen: 19cm hoog, 11cm breed
gekocht aan een Afrikaan
redelijk duur aangekocht zo'n 10 jaar geleden
zijn deze nu nog veel waard, ik zou ze namelijk graag schilderen in kalkverf indien ze niet veel meer waard zijn? alvast bedankt mvg

Comments from Webmaster

hartelijk dank voor de foto‘s. Deze soort apen worden in een aantal afrikaanse landen nog altijd in grote hoeveelheden voor de toeristen gemaakt. Ze zijn dan ook niet bijzonder waardevol of zeldzaam.

Zoals wij het beoordelen, kunt u ze daarom best wel een ander kleurtje geven.

Comments from Elisie

Hartelijk dank voor uw antwoord.

We gaan ons eens wagen aan een lichter tintje voor de aapjes. Mvg

I have one 3 monkey brass piece I received but the order of the monkeys, from left to right, is "See, Speak and then Hear. I haven't seen one picture of that specific order anywhere. Is that an unusual order?

Comments from Webmaster:

Thank you for your question.

There is no “right” sequence for the three monkeys.

Verbally in English the order is hear, see & speak no evil, as it is in many other languages.

That certainly has influenced three-monkey-sets-makers.

But basically the sequence for statues and figurines is up to the designer.

For example the well-known three monkeys of Nikko Japan have a different order, being hear-speak-see.

http://www.three-monkeys.info/1/WEBINFO/NIKKO.htm

We do not know of any statistics about the order of the three monkeys, but over the years we have seen all possible variations.

Hello, I have question. Why for this symbol they used monkey? Why they didn't use humans or different animals?

Comments from Webmaster:

That is a good question. Thank you.

The 3 monkey symbol originates from Japan.

In Japanese language, the three see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil monkeys are called

sanzaru (三猿) or sanbiki no saru (三匹の猿).

The names of the individual monkeys are:

mizaru (see no monkey) (見猿)

kikazaru (hear no monkey) (聞か猿)

iwazaru (speak no monkey) (言わ猿)

The Japanese word for monkey is “saru", which sounds very similar to the verb-ending “zaru", which means “not”.  In addition, “saru” also means “go away”, which can be related to the “evil”.

It is widely believed that the appearance of the 3 monkeys in the Koshin belief may have originated from this play on words.

Hope this information answers your question.

Greetings to you all.   

Recently I had a wonderful Monkey experience and wanted to share it with you.  I have been a Rotarian for many years, and when I returned from Boston, I was asked about our trip.  When I told them I went to a Monkey Collectors’ Meeting, it was suggested that I give a program about it.  It was my turn to schedule a speaker a few weeks ago, so I scheduled myself.  

I began by telling them how my collection got started.  Then I showed them a few pictures of my standard monkey sets.  Next I showed some of my more unusual ones like a picture one of my wife’s students painted of Noah as he was loading animals (two by two) on the Ark.  He tells the three monkeys that they will have to make up their minds.  Then I showed a few non monkey sets such as See-No Owls, Snowmen, and Ducks.  Next came my practical sets like cigarette lighters, a clock and a watch, lamps, candlestick holders and finials.  (I am not a Purist.)  Finally, I showed some of my favorites such as the cloth monkeys Terry bought and sewed together and then sewed their hands in the appropriate places. 

I then mentioned the history of the Monkeys by showing the 1636 carving at the shrine in Nikko and one of the Koshin stone slabs.  I mentioned how the thought behind the monkeys is said to come from the Koshin Folk religion of Japan with influences from Buddhism, Confucianism, and Shintoism.   Also mentioned how the word Zaru from the names of the monkeys is a play on words with the Japanese word Saru which means “not”.

I then closed with our group picture on the dinner cruise and a few pictures of Boston.

I want to thank Emil Schuttenhelm and Bruce Kittess for their wonderful websites.  I spent a lot of time pouring over their material about the history of the monkeys.  I believe this history is what makes monkey collections so special.  As I often say (probably upsetting some people), it is a lot different from collecting chickens or frogs. 

So, once again, thanks to you all for the wonderful meeting and for bringing new life to my love of my Monkey Collection.   

Hoping No Evil comes your way,

Bob McRae

Why are a lot of monkey's displayed wearing Moslem fezs?

Comments from Webmaster:

The use of a bellboy costume for a monkey, including a hat that looks similar to a fez, goes back to the early 1900s.

At that time organ grinders were traveling throughout the working class neighborhoods of New York and Europe, grinding popular music for spare change.

They were often accompanied by a small monkey that was used to draw in crowds and to collect money.

Capuchin monkeys from South America were the monkeys of choice, because they were easily trained and not aggressive towards humans. Very important if you want people to spend some money on you.

Because these monkeys were small and not very noticeable, organ grinders began to dress them in colorful attire, often similar to that of bellboys.

It could very well be that an artist misinterpreted the bellboy hat as a fez, or perhaps even was inspired by it to illustrate the monkey wearing a fez.

But to my knowledge, the fez-wearing monkey has no significance by itself and I believe it was one of those many cases where something was misinterpreted, imitated, and evolved into an image that began showing up more frequently by different artists.
