EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the iconic trio of the Three Wise Monkeys, a renowned symbol of Japanese folklore and ethics. The monkeys, named Mizaru (see no evil), Kikazaru (hear no evil), and Iwazaru (speak no evil), are shown covering their respective senses to embody the wisdom of avoiding temptation and negative influences. The monkeys' expressions and poses exude a sense of tranquility and enlightenment, as they sit serenely amidst lush greenery. Mizaru, the middle monkey, closes his eyes tightly to symbolize the importance of not seeing evil or wrongdoing. Kikazaru, the left monkey, covers his ears to represent the significance of not listening to or hearing evil words or gossip. Iwazaru, the right monkey, places a hand over his mouth to signify the importance of not speaking evil words or engaging in harmful speech. This historical print showcases the rich cultural heritage of Japan and its deep connection to the natural world. The monkeys are often depicted in traditional Japanese art and literature, and their story serves as a reminder of the importance of self-control and mindfulness in daily life. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print bring the wise monkeys to life, making it a beautiful and meaningful addition to any home or office. The Three Wise Monkeys have been a source of inspiration and wisdom for generations, and this print is a testament to their enduring legacy. It is a reminder that by practicing the virtues of seeing no evil, hearing no evil, and speaking no evil, we can lead more fulfilling and harmonious lives. This print is not only a work of art, but a reflection of the timeless values that continue to shape Japanese culture and tradition.
