Description

Even Monkeys Fall Out Of Trees in Japanese is 猿も木から落ちる which is read saru mo ki kara ochiru

猿も木から落ちる (saru mo ki kara ochiru): even monkeys fall out of trees. The expert fails at the very thing they are expert in. The proverb cuts two ways: an Edo joke-book of 1718 uses it to say do not relax where you are good, and the modern dictionaries use it to forgive an ordinary slip. It was already a saying when a haikai poet punned on it in 1638, and it is the Japanese proverb an English reader is most likely to know; two English collections took it as their title in 1987.

About Our Scrolls

Eri Takase was born and raised in Osaka, Japan, and holds the rank of Shihan, the highest rank in Japanese calligraphy, from the Bokuteki-kai and the Bunka-shodo. About Master Takase

The scrolls are 12 1/4" W × 43" H (31 × 109 cm) with real silk borders and Japanese paper that are layered so the scroll hangs straight and will not warp over time.
