| Ema is a small wooden board where Shinto worshippers in Japanese culture write their prayers.
Once written, worshippers should hang the board together with other boards in a designated place inside the shrine and leave it there.
These Ema boards will be burned together in ritualistic ceremonies or on special days. Itââ¬â¢s believed that the prayers and the wishes will reach the god in heaven through the smoke generated from burning. |
