Bo Wah Effigies specialises in paper effigies that are burnt as offerings to the deceased in traditional Chinese rituals. The Chinese believe that their loved ones will receive and be able to use what the effigies represent. The more classic offerings are money and ingots, and clothes and houses, whereas the modern ones include smartphones, electronic devices, musical instruments, and popular cultural icons such as characters from Star Wars films. The paper effigies are handmade by the talented artisans here, who have been creating paper crafts since the early 1960s. Most notably, Wong Ka-keung, the bassist of Hong Kong’s most classic and beloved rock band Beyond, once commissioned the store to make a papier-mache Gibson guitar.
