Reverence for the past: exploring Meiji Shrine

A woman writes her prayers to around the “divine tree” within Meiji Shrine in Tokyo, Japan, Sept. 14, 2015. Visitors may purchase ema, or votive tablets, to write prayers, goals, and statements of gratitude toward the deities enshrined at Meiji. The ema are then hung around the tree, and priests offer prayers in the morning. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Elizabeth Baker/Released)
