Owl Painting & Merchandise

Good morning,

Today Bali-an Fujisawa is Closed. For you who want to visit our store please come to Bali-an Marui Family Ebina 2nd Floor.

Lush, green and cosy, Ubud is often referred to as the spiritual centre of Bali.There is also Bali-an's factory located.
It’s not surprising, that many Balinese and foreign artists call the area home.

While you're in Ubud, why don't you try to visit some boutique galleries such as Owl House which is the home and studio of Wayan Sila who exclusively paints owls.

Why Owls??

In Japan, owls bring luck and offer protection from suffering.

The reason can be found in the Japanese name for owl, Fukuro フクロウ (梟), which can be written in different sets of characters: One with the meaning of luck (福 fuku, luck; 来ku, to come; 郎 ro suffix used in boys' names), and the other as protection from hardship (不 fu, no, 苦労 kurou suffering/hardship).

Through this play on words, owls have attained different attributions and have become popular as engimono (縁起物) (Japanese for lucky charms). Some people believe that the different colours and shapes of owls have different influences on the type of power and luck. This is why an enormous variety of owl merchandise and souvenirs can be found in modern Japan.

Now you don't have to fly to Bali, by visiting Bali-an Shop Marui Ebina you'll find some Wayan Sila Creation and others Owls merchandise.

We're looking forward to see you here!



Regards,
Bali-an Staff
