Shows a black flag of four wise monkeys. An extension on the pictorial maxim of the 'three wise monkeys'. Together they embody the Japanese proverbial principle to "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 fourth monkey is Shizaru, symbolising the principle of "do no evil", and is forced into covering his abodomen and crossing his arms by wearing a straight-jacket and has a paper bag over his head
