EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Three Wise Monkeys (ivory)" by the Japanese School, housed in the Wolverhampton Art Gallery in West Midlands, UK. Standing at a height of 2.8 cm, this intricate ivory carving beautifully captures the essence of the proverbial principle to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". The three monkeys depicted in this sculpture each represent one aspect of this maxim. The first monkey covers its eyes with its hands, symbolizing "see no evil". The second monkey has its hands over its ears, embodying "hear no evil". Lastly, the third monkey covers its mouth with its hands to signify "speak no evil". Together as a group, they create a powerful visual representation of wisdom and restraint. Carved with meticulous detail and precision, these ornamental monkeys exude an Asian aesthetic that is both timeless and thought-provoking. Their postures are seated and serene, inviting viewers to reflect on their own actions and choices. As an okimono - a traditional Japanese decorative object - these three wise monkeys hold significant cultural value. They serve as reminders for individuals to be mindful of their thoughts and behaviors. This photograph from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate the beauty and symbolism captured within this small but impactful artwork. It serves as a reminder that sometimes silence can be more powerful than words when it comes to promoting harmony and righteousness in our lives.
