mt. fuji ema

ema are little wooden plaques sold at shrines that people buy, write their wishes on, and leave hanging at the shrine.  (wikipedia will tell you a little more if you're curious.)

i think these wishes show the humanity in people, like reading a tame version of postsecret and i can't help but give in to the voyeur in me and read one after one.

this 14 year old girl is hoping she gets into X high school and that she can live healthy and happily.


this couple (29 and 26) says, "we hope we can have a child♡we're waiting [for you]♡"


this 11 year old boy hopes to get better grades in japanese class and to become a huge soccer "genius."


this first time 25 year old climber prays he (?) can successfully find a job.


this couple (29 and 28) hopes to have the happiest family in japan.
