Description

Three wise monkeys - Japanese Art Collection Figurine -  Parastone - 10 x 25 cm

The Tosho-gu monkeys from the Shinto shrine in Nikko, Japan. Tosho-gu is 17th-century shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu’s mausoleum. Some 15,000 of the best craftsmen in Japan worked on this richly decorated temple complex for 20 years.

The facade of the holy stables that were home to solely white horses, chained together in pairs, bears eight panels in which monkeys (macaques) play a role. Traditionally monkeys were viewed as horse guardians and until the 17th century every horse stable was home to one.

The eight scenes demonstrate how to lead a virtuous life and feature themes such as friendship, reliability and independence. Wood carver Hidari Jingoro was clearly of the opinion that the three wise monkeys who illustrate Confucian wisdom should also be included, making them world famous in the process.

Attributes: The image shows three sculpted monkeys sitting on a branch, each covering a different part of their face—one covering its mouth, one its ears, and one its eyes—symbolizing “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.” They are surrounded by a textured natural setting with a tree branch, stylized flowers, and foliage, all rendered in earthy browns, turquoise, and yellow tones.
