Monkey / Ape
猿 is one of those cases when an error was made as Chinese characters were absorbed into the Japanese language during the 5th century.
In Japanese, this means monkey.
In Chinese, this means ape.
The Japanese word for ape means monkey in Chinese, so you can see how they were simply reversed.
Monkey Fist
Saruken
saruken
猿拳 is the Japanese martial arts title, “Monkey Fist,” referring to Monkey-Style Kung Fu.
猿拳 is very similar to a Chinese term that uses a different first character (the characters for ape and monkey were reversed when Japan borrowed Chinese characters, so this would be “Ape Fist” if a Chinese person read it).
Yaen / Wild Monkey
yaen
This means wild monkey in Japanese.
Also refers to a 1970 Japanese film of the same name.
Drunken Monkey
yo i saru
酔い猿 is the Japanese title for Drunken Monkey.
Even Monkeys Fall From Trees
Meaning: Anyone can make a mistake
saru mo ki kara ochiru
猿も木から落ちる is the Japanese proverb, “Even monkeys fall from trees.”
It suggests that even the most skilled, can make a mistake in something they should be a master of. Or, to put it simply, “Anyone can make a mistake.”
Note: Because this selection contains some special Japanese Hiragana characters, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
