Three wise Monkeys

These must be the three wise Monkeys 

in Japanese Folklore. 

Mizaru the 1st Monkey who was covering his Eyes, 

Kikazaru the 2nd Monkey who was covering his Ears 

and Iwazaru the 3rd Monkey who was covering his Mouth. 

The proverbial Principle was See no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. 

I think the three wise Monkeys can be seen in Short Films 

like The China Shop, Good little Monkeys, Top in the Big Top, and Spooking about Africa.
