Set of nine vintage Ema votive tablets

A unique collection of nine authentic vintage Ema votive tablets, dating from the 1960s. Each wooden plaque features an illustrated animal from the Japanese zodiac.

At shrines across Japan, visitors write their wishes or prayers on Ema and hang them in hopes the kami (spirits) will receive their words. This set remains unwritten, a rare and meaningful find in good vintage condition, ready to be admired or used to express your own hopes and intentions.

Whether you’re drawn to the grace of the Dragon, the wisdom of the Snake, or the playfulness of the Monkey, these tablets make a perfect addition to any Japan collection, interior space, or as a thoughtful, symbolic gift.

✨ Set of 9, 1960s vintage — all unwritten, all unique.
