The Kyoto Student Public Relations Department has been promoting the “Passing Prayer Ema Project” to support students nationwide who are anxious about the Corona disaster.On Friday, January 15, 2021, from 1:00 p.m., a dedication ceremony was held at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, the general headquarters of Tenmangu Shrine nationwide, to dedicate the thoughts of examinees from all over the country.

　From Thursday, November 5, 2020 to Monday, January 4, 2021, 109 wishes were submitted for university life in Kyoto. It came from all over the country. The collected wishes were hung on a large ema drawn by a member of the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department (using Miyako cedar wood, a wood produced in Kyoto City), and with messages of support from the club members, they prayed for passing the exam and the fulfillment of their wishes at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine.

On the day of the event, it was a warm spring day, and the buds of plum blossoms were beginning to open here and there at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, and it was a dedication ceremony that made me think that I was able to deliver the wishes of the examinees to Tenjin-sama (Michima Sugawara).

　All of us at the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department sincerely wish all the students who are taking the exam the best of luck!
