- Ema are left hanging up at the shrine, where the kami are believed to receive them.
- This is particularly evident at shrines such as at the Ikoma Shrine, where ema more often than usual indicate great despair or tragedy in one's life and show a heavy dependence on divine intervention.
- However, ema have been hung up for many other purposes, such as advertisements for certain Kabuki groups at shrines such as Naritasan Shinshôji in the Chiba prefecture.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ema article was read about 34,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 59 and blocks with 51: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
