Vintage Japanese Wooden Shrine Plaque, Ema

This vintage Japanese ema plaque features an illustration of the Goten-mon gate of the Sanzen-in temple in Kyoto. The ema board has some inscriptions with the name of the location and an attached purple braided cord. 

Ema is a small wooden plaque used at Shinto shrines, and sometimes Buddhist temples, that worshipers can write their wishes, hopes, and dreams on. Once written, it is hung on a special wooden stand or tree where the kami (spirits or gods) are thought to receive them.
