Three Monkeys Katana

Three Monkeys Katana

The three wise monkeys are a widely known imagery. Together they embody the proverbial principle "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.

The Three Monkeys Katana is constructed on a traditional Shinogi Zukuri style blade with Bo-Hi to reduce weight and improve balance as well as handling. The high-carbon blade is hand forged and differentially hardened. The blackened iron tsuba features a three wise monkeys motif.
