People write down their wishes on the blank side of an EMA and hang it in a shrine until the end of the year.

A wonderful idea, nice capture jevsnw · 2010-04-05: 05:48

Does it work? Do they realise their wishes? May be they get a psychological relief from this ritual? Jothindra · 2010-04-06: 06:13

I like to look for EMA with the wishes in Polish:) pandka · 2010-04-06: 06:20

Interesting shot, Masaki. Is this a cultural or religious act? I hope their dreams come true! djnana · 2010-04-09: 20:55
