This is the relatively plain horse stable, but, this being over the top Nikko, it's still more adorned than your run of the mill stable. But, as possible use in a future Trivial Pursuit game, you'll see the three monkeys carved into the building. These are the original "hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil" monkeys. The saying comes from Japan, and this is the original picture of the saying. Maybe that's why it really doesn't make sense. I can see hear no evil and speak no evil as a general rule against gossiping and rumormongering, but see no evil to me means if you see a crime, look away, or maybe don't rat out your friends to the cops. Not your typical moral advice, but maybe it made sense at the time.
