Three Monkeys, written by Mercedes Figueras, was inspired by the Japanese Macaque Monkeys also known as Japanese Snow Monkeys. These Macaques are the monkeys that are depicted in the pictorial maxim "The Three Wise Monkeys". Together they embody the proverbial principle to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil. Sometimes there is a fourth monkey depicted with the three others; the last one, Shizaru, symbolizes the principle of "do no evil". He may be shown crossing his arms.
