Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru for the 21st Century
Shoot No Evil, Record No Evil, Write No Evil
No Evil Productions is named for the proverbial word to the wise, “See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Speak no Evil”. This saying is like a traffic tip on the road of life; you will avoid much trouble if you steer clear of the evil.
Illustrated by the three famous monkeys for hundreds of years, the concept came from Buddhism and originated in Japan. Now the monkeys and the motto they embody are known around the world as an icon of a simple truth in any society.
We always liked the monkeys. It seems like they’re having fun. We think that they seem curious, even when captured in their classic pose. We suspect that when we’re not watching they are off doing something else, nothing evil, of course, but probably something fun.
