絵馬掛け所 Ema hanging place

　絵馬が、絵馬掛け所にたわわに掛かっていました。

　何回たおされても立ち上がる不屈の精神が宿る”だるま”が、描かれた絵馬も見えます。願いが一回で叶わないことを前提としているのでしょうか。

　Ema tablets (votive picture horse) were hanging in abundance at the Ema hanging place.

　You can also see votive tablets depicting a "Daruma doll" that has the fortitude to stand up no matter how many times it is knocked down. Is it based on the assumption that wishes will not come true all at once?

　In the past, there was a custom to dedicate a live horse to a shrine when praying to God for a wish. Now, wishes are written on a tablet with a picture of a horse on it and hung on the screen.
