In Meij shrine / Ema surrounding the sacred tree
people dedicate to the shrine as a sign of appreciation of prayer or prayer fulfillment.
Half of ema( a votive picture of a horse) is not Japanese in Meiji shrine
From old times horse is sacred as vehicle of God in Japan,
ema was spread to the general public in the Kamakura period(1185-1333)
Happy's words side by side is the same
There's an old saying that spirits dwells in the words
