Three Monkey Wakizashi (三猿脇差)
The "Three Wise Monkeys" is a popular symbol of the "See no evil, hear no
evil, speak no evil" proverb popular in many cultures around the world. The
proverb itself is thought to have originated in China and was brought to Japan
by a Buddhist monk, while the association with three monkeys appears to be a
Japanese play on words. The Three Monkey Wakizashi is built on traditional
Shinogi Zukuri style blades with Bo-Hi to reduce weight and improve balance. The
high-carbon blade is hand forged and differentially hardened. The blackened iron
Tsuba features the "Three Wise Monkeys" in relief. A matching katana is
also available to complete a daisho set.
