Three wise Figurines
The proverb see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil is derived from a work of art. A seventeenth century carving above the door in Tōshō-gū shrine in Nikkō, Japan depicts three monkeys–one with his hands covering his eyes, one with his hands covering his ears, and one with his hands covering his mouth. The original meaning of the expression is that one should avoid evil. By being cautious and discreet.
