The amazing fertility of the Balinese soil has since ever given the Balinese a lot of leisure time, aside from their work as peasants, and stimulated their imagination and creativity. So much that the concept of “art” did not exist in their minds! Doing “artistic” things was such a routine to them, an ordinary activity, not more and not less then planting rice or feeding a young child. Until nowadays the offerings they prepare daily are somehow small pieces of art, but nobody minds if people step over them or dogs eat them.
