The title of this article is way off the mark. Ema are present at shrines as well as temples. See the photos in the Commons, There is one of ema at Ishiyamadera. I suggest calling the article "Ema (Japanese religion)". -- Frank (Urashima Tarō) ( talk) 01:49, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

There is a wealth of information regarding this common practice. I have compiled a list of cited works which have a lot of information not found in this article. For a school project, I'll be updating this article with this new information and having it reviewed by my professor. The information I intend to add will come from the sources listed below, and will be neutral in tone. Notice, some of them have already been used in the article. I'm sure that throughout this process of editing I will find even more resources to add from.
