What are Mizaru Mikazaru and Mazaru?

Mizaru, Mikazaru, and Mazaru are three monkeys that are part of the Japanese proverb "Mizaru, Kikazaru, Iwazaru" (見ざる言わざる聞かざる). This proverb literally translates to "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".

Here's a breakdown of each monkey:

* Mizaru (見ざる): The monkey covering its eyes represents "See no evil". It encourages us to avoid witnessing or focusing on negativity and harmful things.

* Mikazaru (聞かざる): The monkey covering its ears represents "Hear no evil". It promotes ignoring gossip, slander, and other harmful words.

* Mazaru (言わざる): The monkey covering its mouth represents "Speak no evil". This encourages us to refrain from spreading rumors, insults, and other negative things with our words.

The proverb teaches the importance of being aware of our surroundings and avoiding negativity in all its forms. It encourages us to be mindful of our thoughts, words, and actions and to focus on promoting positivity and kindness.
