Three Wise Monkeys

3D Model

During my last trip to Japan, I visited the Tōshō-gū shrine in Nikkō and scanned the carvings of the famous Three Wise Monkeys.

Those three monkeys are part of a larger scene that depicts the man’s life cycle. The first one means “children should hear no evil”, the second one means “children should speak no evil” and the last one means “children should see no evil”.
