One of Japan's 1973 set of 2 "quasi-national parks" stamps features Mt. Horaiji Park (Sc #1148). An owl can be seen in the upper left of this stamp.

On February 7, 1997 Japan issued this se-tenant pair of semi postal stamps (Sc #s B48-9) in support of their hosting of the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano. One stamp features 4 highly stylized and simplified owls.

This September 22, 1983 issue of Japan (Scott #1535) shows Blakiston's fish owl (Bubo blakistoni). It is from the country's 1983-4 series of 10 stamps of Endangered Birds.

The owl is identified as Ketupa blakistoni on the stamp, but since the time of issue it has been reclassified/renamed as Bubo blakistoni from DNA examination.

According to Wikipedia, "Blakiston's fish owl is the largest living species of owl...in the three major categories: weight, length, and wingspan."

Japan's 1979 International Letter Writing Week stamp (Sc. #1383) was released on October 8th of that year. It features a traditional painting with an owl.

On June 3, 1994 Japan issued this "Environment Day" stamp (Sc. #2243) to encourage participation in environmental and conservation efforts. A menagerie of stylized animals are depicted including a frilled lizard, an elephant, and an owl.

From Wikipedia, "The boreal owl (Aegolius funereus) is a small owl. In Europe, it is typically known as Tengmalm's owl after Swedish naturalist Peter Tengmalm...The genus name Aegolius is a type of screech owl thought to be a bird of ill omen, and funereus means funereal."
