The en or on Sino-Japanese reading is seen in words such as:.
The native saru reading is used in many words, including some proper names:. Personal names with the word saru "monkey" reflect semantically positive meanings of the monkey Ohnuki-Tierney While most Japanese "monkey" words have positive denotations, there are a few pejorative exceptions Carr One is a native Japanese term: Two are Sino-Japanese loanwords for foreign monkeys: Some notable examples are: One Kojiki chapter mentions him tr.
When the Sun Goddess Amaterasu , said to be the ancestress of the Imperial House of Japan , decided to send her grandson Ninigi and other deities down to earth to govern, she first sent a scout to clear the way, who returned and reported encountering the fearsome Sarutahiko. There is one God who dwells at the eight-cross-roads of Heaven, the length of whose nose is seven hands, the length of whose back is more than seven fathoms.
Moreover, a light shines from his mouth and from his posteriors. His eye-balls are like an eight-hand mirror and have a ruddy glow like the Aka-kagachi. Amaterasu chose Ame-no-Uzume as the only god or goddess who could confront Sarutahiko and ask why he was blocking the crossroads between heaven and earth, and said:. Thou hadst better go and question him. My name is Saruta-hiko no Oho-kami. Sarutahito later marries Ame-no-Uzume.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi , who unified Japan in and ended the Sengoku period , was nicknamed Kosaru "small monkey" or Saru "monkey" , "not only because his face looked like a monkey's, but also because he eagerly sought identification with the monkey" Ohnuki-Tierney During this period, a genre of paintings illustrated the Monkey God as a messenger from the Mountain God, depicting him dancing during rice harvesting, or holding a gohei "a ritual wand with pendant paper streamers" ritualistically used by Shinto priests to summon the spirit of a deity. But in a type of karmic loophole, someone who stays awake throughout that day and night can avoid receiving a shorter lifespan for their transgressions.
Their names are a pun between saru or vocalized zaru "monkey" and archaic -zaru "a negative verb conjugation": It is with this mediating deity that the monkey became associated, thereby further reinforcing the meaning of the monkey as mediator. This amalgamation, says Ohnuki-Tierney Monkeys are occasionally mentioned in early Japanese literature. The Trainer finally agrees, and asks for a few minutes to say goodbye.
He also says that instead of shooting the Monkey with an arrow, which would harm the skin, he will kill it himself.

He starts to strike the Monkey, and the Monkey mistakes his action for a signal to perform, so it grabs the stick and uses it as an oar. In gratitude, the Monkey performs and the Trainer sings. Monkeys are a common theme in Japanese folktales and fairy tales.
The monkey is a malicious trickster in Saru Kani Gassen " Battle of the Crab and the Monkey " over a rice-ball and a persimmon seed Ozaki In one widespread version, the monkey takes a rice ball from a crab in exchange for a persimmon seed, explaining to the crab that there is nothing left of a rice ball after its consumption, whereas a persimmon seed will grow and bear fruit. When the crab manages to grow the tree, which bears much fruit, the crab asks the monkey to fetch a persimmon.
The monkey climbs up the tree and throws a persimmon at the crab, injuring or killing her, depending on the version. Eventually, the crab or her children, in the version in which she is killed and her sympathizers a chestnut, a needle, a wasp, a mortar, dung, and so forth, depending upon the region take revenge on the monkey.
The monkey serves as a mediator in several folktales. The hard-working man worked in the field from early morning till evening to grow soybeans and red beans. One day he became tired and fell asleep, whereupon monkeys came and thought he was a Buddha. They gave him yams and other offerings and went back to the mountain. The man took the offerings home.

Upon hearing this story, the wife of the lazy man urged her husband to do the same. The monkeys carried him across the river to ensconce him there. While they were carrying him on their arms, the monkeys said, "We should raise our hakama [a skirt-like garment for men]", and they stroked their fur to imitate the gesture of raising the hakama.
Upon seeing this, the man laughed. The monkeys said that he was a man, instead of a Buddha, and threw him into the river. He was drenched, swallowed a great deal of water, and narrowly escaped his death. Upon hearing of the incident, his wife became enraged.
These monkeys act as "sacred mediators who on behalf of the Mountain Deity punish a lazy man and his wife for engaging in superficial imitation of their neighbors, while they themselves are imitating humans". Some folktales portray the monkey as a trickster who tries to outsmart others.
When the Dragon King hears that eating a live monkey's liver is the only medicine that will save his queen from dying, he sends his trusted servant fish to cross the ocean, go to the monkey-land, and convince a live monkey to return to the dragon-land. While they are traveling across the ocean, the monkey learns that the king will cut out his liver, and tells the fish that he left his liver hanging on a tree in monkey-land, where they return to find the tree empty.
