About This Item

Mizaru, Kikazaru, & Iwazaru

I am the “Three Wise Monkeys.” My owner found me in Bigfooty Booty GC11W2E near Colorado Springs, CO and I would like to return there. Please help me return to the mountains of Colorado!

Please post pictures of me on my journey … please, do not post anything “evil!”

The three wise monkeys are a pictorial maxim. Together they embody the proverbial principle to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil. Sometimes there is a fourth monkey depicted with the three others; the last one, Shizaru, symbolizes the principle of "do no evil". He may be shown covering his abdomen or genital area, or crossing his arms.

There are various meanings ascribed to the monkeys and the proverb including associations with being of good mind, speech and action. In the western world the phrase is often used to refer to those who deal with impropriety by looking the other way, refusing to acknowledge it, or feigning ignorance.

The source that popularized this pictorial maxim is a 17th century carving over a door of the famous T?sh?-g? shrine in Nikk?, Japan.

In Chinese, a similar phrase exists in the Analects of Confucius: "Look not at what is contrary to propriety; listen not to what is contrary to propriety; speak not what is contrary to propriety; make no movement which is contrary to propriety"
