Ikuta Shrine x familiar Prayer Ema (Votive Tablet) Hagukuma - Red New Same-day shipping, anonymous shipping A special offering created in unity by "Ikuta Shrine" and familiar. Purchased at Ikuta Shrine in February 2025. I bought it for my family, but I already had one, so I'm selling this one. The original purpose of an ema is to write your wish and dedicate it to the shrine. However, regarding "Hagukuma," you don't necessarily have to dedicate it to the shrine; you can take it home with you. You can write your wishes for your family's happiness, your own safe delivery and health, or your child's healthy growth, and display it on a crib or desk. You can think of it like a charm and keep it with you, or you can keep it as long as you cherish it. You can return it to the shrine when your wish comes true or as the situation changes. I hope that by taking it home, it will, for example, encourage your child to strive towards their goals. With the prayer ema "Hagukuma," which features a bear motif, write your wishes and thoughts with sincerity, such as your child's healthy growth and your family's happiness, and receive a connection with the gods. We pray that the wishes and thoughts of everyone who receives it will truly be nurtured and fulfilled.
