NAME: Japanese ema or prayer board, complete set of 12 boards representing the Zodiac animals. (#32751)

SIZE: Height 2-5/8" (7cm), 3-13/16" (9.7cm) at the longest point, 1-3/4" (4.3cm) deep. The boards may vary in size a little. One board is 1-3/8" (3.8cm) thick.

CONDITION: Some have darkened from age. Normal wear and tear with light scratches, dents, etc.

NOTES: Some of the boards have dates. Guessing it's the Japanese dates of 52 to 56, which would mean these are from the late 1970's to early 1980's.

Bottom photo in the 2nd picture is for comparison, showing the depth of a regular ema board (in front).

An ema board or prayer board is a method by which people make wishes, prayers or thanks to the dieties by writing it down on the board and hanging it at a shrine. The art work traditionally depicts the Zodiac animals, historic stories, folklore characters and stories, etc., but modern characters are also included now.

Nice to have a matching, complete vintage set.

Additional shipping fees will apply to international orders. Estimated shipping weight is 4 pounds which will mail for approximately US$50.00 to most international destinations.
