Short trip in Gunma ~2~ Tamamura hachimangu part 4 ema

I introduce little bit more about Japanese shrine.
This wood board is called "ema."

"E" means picture. You see often the picture on this small board, so it is called Ema.
("Ma" means, horse. It is said that a horse is often drawn on this board.)
Everyone writes down your hope on this small ema. It is said that your dream would
come true if you do that. This ema on the picture is set for children. Do you see the
word 七五三 at the right side? I introduced about shichigosan on this blog.
I guess children wrote their hope on this ema.

  This small shack is also for hanging your ema. I found a lot of ema over there.
The garden was clean and silent.
  You will experience the silent atmosphere if you go to shrine unless there is
big event.
