What is Ema?
It’s a small wooden board which is sold at shrines.
Once upon a time, horses are dedicated to shrines to wish people’s good luck or health. Instead of that, we use ‘ema’ nowadays.
We write down our wishes on one side, the other side is already printed a horse. We hang it on a specific area in shrines. Does this sound natural?
