Die Seite über die 3 Affen finde ich sehr gut.
Unter
www.Afrika-Deko-Shop.de habe ich einen Online-Shop mit afrikanischen Unikaten, u.a. auch mit dem schönen, aus afrikanischem Hartholz handgeschnitzten Affen-Set der 3 Affen. Jeder der Affen ist ein einzigartiges Unikat, denn jeder schaut ein wenig anders aus. Ganz neu sind jetzt auch die einzelnen Affen mit Kerzenständer.
Die Affen werden in der Umgebung von Conakry/Guinea von einheimischen Kunsthandwerkern geschnitzt und kommen ohne Zwischenhändler zu uns.
Vielleicht hat ja der eine oder andere Sammler mal Lust in unseren Shop zu schauen - wir würden uns freuen.
Für Rückfragen stehe ich Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.

Good news letter. Very interesting.  I am a collector.  Have over 100 sets.  Cannot afford to pay a lot for them.  I am also an artist and I have carved one set from wood.  Made one set of clay (fired) and one set of that Fimo clay. My main medium of art is painting but I haven't painted the 3 monkeys yet. 

A friend of mine (a male crochet artist) made me an afghan where he crotched them as design in the piece.  It is beautiful. I will have to get his permission to put them on the site.  As soon as I do I will send that to you too.

 

0182 are made from fired clay and then glazed and fired.

 

0184 are carved from basswood.

 

0186 are made from the Fimo clay found most hobby shops then fired in my home oven.

WANTED - OPSPORING VERZOCHT - GESUCHT

This monkey here is missing in my collection. I recently found a photo of it in the internet, so at least I know and can show how it looks like. Who can help?

 

Bovenstaande aap ontbreekt in mijn verzameling. Ik heb nu een foto in het internet gevonden, zodat ik tenminste weet en kan laten zien hoe hij eruit ziet. Wie kan helpen?

 

Dieser Affe hier oben fehlt in meiner Sammlung. Kürzlich habe ich ein Bild im Internet gefunden und weiss jetzt wenigstens wie er aussieht. Wer kann helfen?

 

Many thanks - hartelijk dank - vielen Dank

Have just had a chance to scan through the latest Collectors News and again congratulate you on content. Will spend more time studying in more detail later. 

 

Hope you will not mind if I say that, as most readers will not recognise from the photos of meets that any chance of adding, if possible, names to identify those depicted would add to pleasure of seeing them.

Regards.

 

Arthur.

 

Seeing, Hearing and Speaking are wonderful gifts that should never be used for evil purposes.

Hallo,

ich suche einen Drei-Affen-Schlüsselanhänger. So einen, wie er im "Tatort" zu sehen war. Habt Ihr vielleicht einen Tipp für mich, wo ich so einen Schlüsselanhänger kaufen kann (ich habe mich schon stundenlang durchs Internet gewälzt)?

Hi. I'm considering getting a tattoo done of the three wise monkeys, but I'm not religious in any way. I already have the desired design at hand, and I really love it. Should I reconsider this, or is it accepted to get this done either way?

 

Webmasters comment:

Hello Pal, There are more tattoos with hear, see and speak no evil than you may think. Just look at the following page of our website: http://www.three-monkeys.info/1/WEBINFO/TATTOOS.htm  Not all are monkeys, though. Don't forget to send us a picture when your tattoo is ready.

 

Reply from Pål

Thank you for your quick reply. Yes, I saw the other tattoos, and I guess it's mostly about what kind of meaning oneself put into the symbol that counts in the end, as long as it's not like a swastika or something like that. Actually I already have the appointment to get tattooed on Monday, so I appreciate your quick

reply :-). I will send you a picture when it's done. Thank you.

Hi, just came across your brilliant site. I was asked by Mulberry a few years ago to design a tote bag for them and decided the see/hear/speak no evil monkeys would be the perfect image for them. I think if you google my name and Mulberry and monkeys you should find an image for your archive.

Kind regards,

Peter Jones

Dear Emil--

I was holding a T shirt that I have up to a mirror and I realized that it said „LIVE ON“ (no evil backwards).  I thought that was sort of interesting.

Hallo,

ich habe Ihre Internetseite entdeckt, weil ich Figuren bei Ebay verkaufen möchte, welche gemeinsam die drei Frösche (anstatt der Affen) darstellen. Ich wollte mich einfach über ihre Bedeutung informieren.

Wenn Sie Interesse haben, können Sie wahrscheinlich sehr einfach Ihre Sammlung erweitern. Ich habe keine Verwendung dafür.

I don't know if I have signed this before.  Good news letter. Very interesting.  I am a collector.  Have over 100 sets.  Cannot afford to pay a lot for them. 

I am also an artist and I have carved one set from wood.  Made one set of clay (fired) and one set of that Fimo clay.  I have not made a painting yet, but may soon do that. 

A friend of mine (a male crochet artist) made me an afghan where he crotched them as design in the piece. 

It is beautiful.

Dear Emil

Thank you for the Newsletter. It s getting richer in content. As I obeyed your "Click here", it took me long time to read through. You too must have been quite occupied mailing to over 400 addresses!

One American female collector writes in her webblog that she has three monkeys marked "Japan". Without the mark they can be easily recognized as Japanese. The clue is the red face. As I told before, majority of monkeys have black skin and long tail while uniquely Japanese monkey has red face and short tail. The knowledge of this characteristic features might be helpful for collectors.

She also writes: "items made in Japan were not available for a long time because of the war". This is a nice tip for me. By the way, Trifari brooches in form of three monkeys were made in 1941--the very year when America and Japan started the war. A bit strange.

Three monkeys in Goa. According to the Chinese calendar, 2010 is surely the Year of Tiger. That is true also in Japan. The said three monkeys have nothing to do with the calendar. I presume they are "Gandhi's monkeys".

I received a letter from one reader of my book. He spotted three wise monkeys in a souvenir shop at the mountain gorilla sanctuary near the Ruwenzori National Park, Rwanda. Reportedly the natives insisted three monkeys are their products with very old history, which teach how to get along in a life. Now we have learnt that three monkeys are ubiquitous in Africa. In this connection, I wonder if you can use your web site to gather more information on African three monkeys. My letter inquiries to museums there have so far been ignored. Maybe not your now popular web site. To know the history of our three monkeys, knowledge about the situations in Africa is essential. Michio

Hello!

My father has a collection of about 300 three-monkeys. He’s getting older and has no longer interest in the monkeys. He had asked me if I can help him selling the collection. Is there anyone who is interested in the whole collection? 

Best regards, Mona.

Hallo, gibt es nähere Informationen zu dem Bedeutungswechsel der 3 Affen, vom buddhistischen Gebot hin zur Darstellung von mangelnder Zivilcourage?

Danke für Ihre Mühen.

Gruss WV

 

Webmaster’s comment:

 

Guten Tag Herr Vollmer,

eine gute Frage. Das Drei-Affensymbol ist in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts und auch später meistens ohne nähere Erklärungen nach Europa und USA herübergekommen. Man hat nur Abbildungen oder Figuren gesehen ohne die ursprüngliche Bedeutung zu wissen.

Das Symbol wurde in den verschiedenen Sprachen unterschiedlich gedeutet. Zum Beispiel in Englisch: hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. (Höre nichts Böses, Sehe nichts Böses, Sage nichts Böses)

Holländisch: horen, zien en zwijgen (Hören, sehen und schweigen)

Französisch: Rien entendre, voir, dire (Nichts hören, sehen, sagen) und so wurde das Symbol auch im Deutschen Sprachraum verstanden. Nichts hören, sehen, sagen.

Im Laufe der Zeit wurde daraus Vogel-Strauss Verhalten, Kopf in den Sand stecken = mangelnde Zivilcourage.

Ich hoffe, dass Ihnen diese Angaben genügen.
