One of the three wise monkeys is an icon associated with a Japanese proverb: see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil. Mizaru, Iwazaru, and Kikazaru are their names. A horse owner believes that having these animals nearby cures disease in horses. People say the sculptures are old, so it must be true. You can find three monkeys at Toshogu, Japan, a famous temple, but there's another sculpture here that tells a different story - two monkeys instead of three live in this stable. A popular proverb from ancient Japan says that if you cover your eyes, mouth, and ears with your paws, bad things won't happen to you. The lesson is about not saying or doing anything wrong; that's how children grow up obediently. "Speak no evil," which means saying bad words makes one useless like the monkey trying not to speak by eating a banana. This figurine is without accessories.
