Emil

You are the webmaster of all time. How in the world you keep your email list plus all the info on the webpages in different languages is a masterful achievement. 

An equivalent business would require at least 25 people and then they would need meeting after meeting to coordinate.

Sincerely, Bruce

Hallo Herr Schuttenhelm,

beim heutigen Durchforsten ihres Sammlershops habe ich mich sehr amüsiert über die " 3 Bäume ". Sie erinnerten mich sofort an die Verfilmung des Romans "Der Herr der Ringe" von Tolkien. Hier wird im "Fangorn - Wald" die Ruhe der "Ents" sehr gut dargestellt und genau diese Ruhe passt zum Sinnbild der drei Affen. Ich finde die Darstellung einfach toll. Freundliche Sammlergrüße aus Leipzig

Dear Anneke and Emil

Thank you for Newsletter. Sorry for late acknowledgement.

So many columns to read. You are working hard. The page on Japanese macaques was interesting.

Thanks.

All the best.

Hi Emil,

Another poor quality photo. But I thought you may not have seen the 3 wise Koalas roaming around your monkey collection.

All the best from Australia.

Emil,

 

Congratulations on another informative and interesting issue. I can easily spend several enjoyable hours discovering all the goodies on the site.  Also, congratulations on the fifth anniversary of www.three-monkeys.info on the web!

 

I sent Sheila and Burt my registration forms and payment, so all of the Ottinger family is planning on being at the conference in Chicago in a couple of months. 

We look forward to seeing you there!

...but you cannot hide Emil!  You are truly a webmaster's webmaster. Before your webpage was launched we talked about you writing a book. Given the time you have dedicated to Three-monkeys.info these five past years you could have written a hundred books.

Thank you for the joy you have brought to three monkey fanciers around the world.

Vanochtend zag ik hoe Astrid Slegers op een bijzondere wijze vertelde over haar boeiende verzameling.

Als geestelijk verzorger in een verpleeghuis in Delft ben ik benieuwd naar de mogelijkheid om een deel van een horen, zien en zwijgen verzameling in een vitrine ten toon te stellen.

Ik ben benieuwd of een van de HZZ verzamelaars hieraan geinteresseerd is.

Hartelijke groet,

Hi Emil,

I was very happy to see you used a picture I sent you for your Picture of the Month feature in the Three Wise Monkeys Newsletter.  I am truly honored, because I’m sure you have plenty to choose from.

 

Once again Emil thanks for all you do for the Three Wise Monkeys community.

Hallo Anneke und Emil.

 

Aufgrund Eurer neuesten Nachrichten zum Thema „Die drei (weisen) Affen“ habe ich mit einigen Klicks mir noch einmal eine Bilderauswahl angesehen. Dabei  kam mir die Einsicht, wie vielfältig doch unser Leben ist. Wer hätte sich vorstellen können, wie viel tausende Varianten alleine zu diesem Thema erdacht und geschaffen werden können. Ihr etwa, als Ihr damit begonnen habt, eine Zusammenstellung zu erstellen, damit Ihr ein wenig Ordnung in Eure Sammlung bekommt?  Dazu der Gedanke, die Ursprünge der „3-weisen-Affen“ zu erforschen.

Heute ist daraus eine Studie geworden, die jeder wissenschaftlichen Prüfung standhalten würde. Davon bin ich fest überzeugt. Ihr könnt wirklich sehr stolz auf Eure Arbeit sein. Aber vielleicht erhält gerade diese Beschäftigung Euch jung und aktiv. Wer weiß??

Gruß   Winnes

Hello, how are you? I just wanted to let you know that a Norwegian billionaire has opened a top class hotel in Gothenburg called Clarion Post Hotel and in front of the hotel there are three 12 meter statues of 3 men that cannot hear, speak or see. It is wonderful and it glows and changes colors just like in Nice, France.

 

Maybe something that you would like to see?

Emil,

I just viewed the movie „The Artist" and was very surprised to see „Three Wise Monkeys" prominently displayed in one scene. One needs to stay sharp; those little fellows can show up anywhere.

Stay well and enjoy life,

I was in Japan many years ago. I thought I saw on the facade of a temple in Kyoto a sculpture of hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil monkeys such as the one in Nikko. Am I mistaken? If there is a temple like this in Kyoto, please let me know.

Also, I remember I was told that when the builders saw the Temple was so perfectly built they purposely put in one of the bricks upside down as nothing should be that perfect...Bad luck?

Any answers you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hallo Herr Schuttenhelm,

die Drachenbilder anlässlich des Jahres des Drachens sind wirklich sehenswert und sehr zu empfehlen.


Ihre Website ist mit Abstand die Beste, die ich auf dem Gebiet der 3 Affen kenne.

Besonders gefällt mir hier immer wieder die Aktualität und das Persönliche.

Neben neuen Affeneroberungen ist das für mich ein weiterer Grund, ihre Website öfter zu besuchen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

I bought the 3 wise monkeys at a local bazaar. Shortly afterwards I was robbed of my two beautiful diamond necklaces. Are the monkeys known for being bad luck, as now I don’t know if I should throw them away?   Ann

 

Webmasters comment:

Hello Ann, sorry to hear about your misfortune. To answer your question: in Japan, the country where the 3 monkeys originate from, they are considered as a very positive symbol. They are messengers between the God in Heaven and the believers and are trying to keep all evil away from the people. Maybe the 3 monkeys have brought you good luck in the sense that you have not suffered any physical harm in this matter, “only” a very unfortunate material loss. We don’t think you should throw them away. We hope this answers your question.

Hello, I live in Canada and have 3 sets of the Wise Monkeys.

The wooden ones were a gift from my uncle in England but I do not know where he bought them. It might have been in California. The stone monkeys were also a gift and the little brass monkeys I bought here. If you wish you may use them on your website.                                                         Pat Marshall, Ottawa, Canada

2012 is the year of the dragon on the Chinese calendar. The sea horse is in Japanese TATSUNO OTOSHIGO. Literally “illegitimate child of a dragon”. As I am not familiar with the dragon, I chose a sea horse for creating my New Years card for 2012.

With my very best wishes, Michio Iida

I am so excited to find this site.  Two years ago I created the slogan "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, Write No Evil . . . But If You Must, Call Us First" for my law firm.  We even developed a logo (which I will see if we can get uploaded - hopefully you will get a chuckle), and we have had it printed on mugs, paper clips and leather coasters.  Clients love it, and I have gotten a lot of laughs and referrals from it.  My law clerk moved to Japan, and sent me some pics of the original Toshogu Shrine monkeys.  I was searching for background, and found you guys.  And you are meeting in my home city in July.  I am so excited.  I think I will have to attend the dinner.  Maybe I will bring some of my extra leather coasters, mugs and paperclips, if anyone wants them.

Wij, Gozen en Gerda Beikes zijn inmiddels druk bezig met de voorbereidingen voor de HZZ dag van 2012. We gaan proberen er een hele leuke dag van te maken. Iedereen is natuurlijk van Harte Welkom op deze dag welke word gehouden op 29 september 2012 in Nieuwe Pekela. We hopen op een grote opkomst.

Wil je meer informatie over hoe we deze dag gaan invullen, kijk dan gauw op de website www.three-monkeys.info. Ook vind je daar het formulier om je aan te melden voor deze dag.

Hopelijk tot 29 september 2012 in het mooie Groninger land.

On the following site is my greeting. http://www1.kamakuranet.ne.jp/tgoto/nenga_h24/English_h24.html

 

The coming year is the "Dragon Year". There appear two castles.

The first one is Himeji Castle, National Treasure and inscribed to UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage. This is located in the city of Himeji, to the west of the city of Osaka.

The second is Azuchi Castle (now non-existent) built by Oda Nobunaga, an innovative warrior in the 16th century. He is one of the popular warriors in the history and often dramatized in movies and TV programs.

The third one is "Tokyo Sky Tree." Now this is under final stage of construction. It will be opened in next May. I hope the site works normally.

 

I send my best regards to you from Kamakura, Japan.

 

Sincerely yours,

Tatsuro Gotoh
