Ema (絵馬 means "picture-horse") are small wooden plaques, common to Japan, in which Shinto and Buddhist worshippers write prayers or wishes. The ema are left hanging up at the shrine, where the spirits or gods are believed to receive them.
In ancient times people would donate horses to the shrines for good favor; over time this was transferred to a wooden plaque with a picture of a horse, and later still to the various wooden plaques sold today for the same purpose.
Once inscribed with a wish, Ema are hung at the shrine until they are ritually burned at special events, symbolic of the liberation of the wish from the writer.

Three Seattle-area Sam's Club stores are shutting down in a nationwide wave of closures.
I am a Costco member since 1986. But I never thought of joining Sam's Club. I showed at Sam's Club once when they send me one time trial membership.
Brick and Mortar stores are struggling everywhere. It is not limited to large stores. Smaller shops are hit much harder. I think it is urgent requirement for small stores to be online ready. Opening stores on places like Amazon are must for survival.
If you have not open a store on Amazon and other online shops, give us a call.
