絵え馬ま殿でん

noun

shrine building for votive picture tablets

A building at a Shinto shrine where ema (votive picture tablets) are hung. The term is rare; most people simply refer to the ema hanging area without a specific building name.

• 神じん社じゃの境けい内だいにある絵え馬ま殿でんには、たくさんの絵え馬まがかけられていた。

  In the shrine grounds, many votive tablets were hung in the ema hall.
