In Japan, the owl has the meaning of "praying for peace" and a symbol of "wisdom". From its pronunciation HUKUROU, it means not working hard, not getting old, and being able to prosper, which is a kind of encouragement and blessing. I heard people say that the pronunciation of the Japanese word "福" is "HUKU", which is the same as the pronunciation of owl. Therefore, in addition to not working hard, owl also means blessing blessings. In Hokkaido, owl is the patron saint of the Ainu people. It represents the symbol of "blessing, immortality and prayer".
