40 years of
collecting the three wise monkeys
|
|
Forty years ago,
on October 11, 1978 your webmaster bought his first three wise
monkey set in an Emporium Retail Store in Hong Kong. Since that
time, the collection has grown to over 3600 No Evil sets.
Statistically seen, over all these years, the collection grew with
an average of almost 8 sets per month. And still, this considerable
total quantity represents only a fraction of all No Evil sets
available in this world. Here are some panorama photos of part of
the collection, taken about 5 years ago. Panorama

Message from
the Dutch National Library (Koninklijke Bibliotheek)
|
|
“The fact
that websites such as "digital heritage" are worth
preserving is internationally recognized in the 2003 UNESCO Digital
Heritage Charter. It notes that the digital heritage can be lost
and urgently must be retained for use by current and future generations
of scientists.
As a
national library, the Koninklijke Bibliotheek is legally responsible for the
collection, description and storage of publications published in
the Netherlands, whether electronic or not. The KB sees it as its
task to keep websites sustainable and accessible to future
generations and to protect them from losses due to technological
aging.
For this
reason, the KB archives websites that present a representative
image of Dutch culture, history and society on the Internet as a
collection.
Your website
www.three-monkeys.info
will be permanently archived and stored for this purpose. Archiving
will take place for the first time from 21st September 2018. Thereafter, successive

Michio has written several books related to the 3 monkeys:
- The Koshin
faith
- Himachi, Tsukimachi
and Koshinmachi (sun, moon and the Koshin
wake)
- Deities
such as Shomen Kongo
and Sarutahiko
- The three
monkeys
All of his books
were written in traditional Japanese language and are scientific
studies, usually only of interest for further academic
studies. More…..
