Batubulan: A stone carving center in Bali
Ask anyone what Batubulan stands for and they will say stone carvings. As you ride NE of Denpasar, past Tohpati, you will ride though a street lined with stone Buddhas and other carved decorations. Batubulan's creations can be seen the world over and one place I stopped at today was a little shop specializing in wood carving. As I pulled up 3 young guys sat on the floor and painstakingly chipped away at their own carving. Also displayed in the shop in the shop just recently finished were carved, center-parting doors and a couple of large carved door frames. I asked the price of the doors and was told 6m rp. A lot of the patterns are repeating with leaves often surrounding some kind of Balinese dancer or some abstract motif.
This place was called Sari Yasa Ukir and was located on Jl. Raya Batubulan
