Enchantment of Omikuji and Ema wall

we’re delighted to bring back two beloved Japanese traditions that add a touch of magic to your convention experience: Omikuji fortune-telling and Ema wish boards.

Delve into the World of Omikuji: Drawing an Omikuji fortune is not just an act of revelation; it’s a journey into the intricate tapestry of fate. Unfold your chosen Omikuji and discover guidance, wisdom, and perhaps a touch of serendipity for the path ahead.

Ema Wish Board – A Canvas for Dreams: Ema boards have evolved into symbolic canvases where dreams find voice, and wishes echo with collective aspirations. Whether it’s a whispered secret, a cherished dream, or a silent prayer for loved ones, let the Ema board be the keeper of your deepest thoughts.
