"Ema" is a traditional Japanese votive painting, in this case, depicting a horse, created by Kanō Motonobu, a prominent figure in the Kano school of painting, active in the 16th century. The artwork is a depiction of a horse, a symbol of good fortune and power, often offered to deities for protection. This ema, which is the term for a votive tablet, was likely hung in a temple, highlighting the artistic and religious significance of the piece.
