Japanese woodblock print “Happy owl” is by Fu Takenaka (1945- ) Very cute owl print. In Japan, owls bring luck and offer protection from suffering. The reason can be found in the Japanese name for owl, Fukuro, which can be written in different sets of characters: One with the meaning of luck ( fuku, luck; ku, to come; ro suffix used in boys’ names), and the other as protection from hardship ( fu, no, kurou hardship, suffering).
Fu Takenaka was born in 1945. She worked for a design company and started late with printmaking, in 2003. The artist works in the technique of the Japanese woodblock print. Fu Takenaka was a member of the Japanese artist association Nihon Hanga-in and well known in Japan. Just died in 2022.
