Nikko is a Buddhist shrine complex dating back to the 17th century and home to Tokugawa Ieyasu's mausoleum, Nikko Toshogu. Nikko Toshogu is famous, not only as the resting place of one of the shogun responsible for uniting Japan, but also for its carving of The Three Wise Monkeys. The monkeys illustrate the Japanese proverb "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" - as it is known in the western world.
