A group of humorous stone statues depicting the familiar "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" in the form of frogs, arranged from left to right as see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil frogs.
A charming group of stone frog statues that playfully reimagine the famous "Three Monkeys" (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil) known from Nikko Toshogu and other sites. The frogs represent good fortune through a clever pun—the Japanese word for frog, "kaeru," also means "to return." Arranged left to right, they depict the "see-no-evil frog" covering its eyes, the "hear-no-evil frog" covering its ears, and the "speak-no-evil frog" covering its mouth. This delightfully whimsical corner naturally brings smiles to visitors' faces. Hand-knitted yarn caps gifted by worshippers further enhance their endearing charm.
