The Ghana “Three Wise Monkeys” coin beautifully describes one of the Japanese proverbs that continue to talk about the fundamental principles of wise living.
Three monkeys: Mizar sees no evil, Kikazara hears no evil, and Iwazar speaks no evil. It has been suggested that the original source is Confucius’ Analects, which dates back 2-4 centuries BC, and the names of the monkeys were derived from the original play on words in Japanese.
This perfect gifting coin will be a wonderful guide to life’s ever-relevant Japanese wisdom.
