絵馬 (2010)
The title is read as Ema.
The Ema are small wooden plaques on which Shinto worshippers write their prayers or wishes. The ema are then left hanging up at the shrine, where the kami (spirits or gods) receive them. They bear various pictures, often of animals or other Shinto imagery, and many have the word 願意, meaning “wish”, written along the side. (Source: Wikipedia)
