The Three Wise Monkeys

Everybody knows “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” right? Well today in Nikko, Japan, I visited a famous temple with this carving of said monkeys. If you look closely, you can see, in fact, that there are the three monkeys.

According to the Wikipedia, this carving (17th century) helped to popularize the image/folktale of the three wise monkeys.
