Sich Die Ohren Zuhaltendes Affengesicht

The hear no evil monkey, called Kikazaru (Japanese for “hear not”), one of the Three Wise Monkeys. Depicted as the brown 🐵 Monkey Face with hands covering its ears.

The Three Wise Monkeys represent the proverb see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, frequently interpreted as a call for discretion or willful ignorance.

Often used as a playful way to convey I can’t believe what I’m hearing! or, more generally, to express astonishment or disbelief.
