Shinme (神馬)
Since ancient times, horses have been regarded as sacred messengers of the gods in Japan, and live horses were dedicated to shrines as part of prayers and rituals.
Records from the Nara period show that horses were offered when praying for rain or for rain to stop.
White horses, symbolizing purity and holiness, were especially revered.
In modern times, instead of live horses, people dedicate wooden ema plaques for wish-making at shrines.
