神田明神の絵馬(Anime Ema of Kanda Myojin)

Category：Information, Tourism

皆さん初詣には行きましたか？
九段の近くにある神田明神はサブカルチャーで有名な秋葉原が近いこともあり毎年、同人や商業誌の漫画家の人たちがアニメのキャラクターの絵を描いた絵馬を奉納することで有名です。
Kanda shrine is located near Kudan, which is also located near Akihabara, a place famous for manga and anime.
Here you can see a votive tablet, an ema. Originally, people donated a living horse to a Shinto shrine. And later, people donated a picture of a horse. Ema literally means “picture of horse.”
However, some people take the extra step of decorating their own ema.
