About Ema
- My view... American politics, from outside the box
- Ema Kitsune was born in a small Oregon town and was raised by a loving, caring, kind and gentle mom. Ema has an older sibling still residing in Oregon and also has two children and four grandchildren and one great-grandchild, who find Ema's views, "My view... from outside the box", not only interesting and informative but occasionally funny and critical at the same time. Ema is currently living in Japan and enjoys the unique perspective of viewing America and American politics from outside the box. Ema hopes you will enjoy these views too. Ema's name, as translated from Japanese, has some interesting parallels to the "My view..." site, as well. Ema, the phonetic sound for the English letter "m", is also the Japanese name of the small wooden plaques worshipers and visitors write their prayers, thoughts and wishes on, then leave hanging at Shinto shrines for the kami (spirits or gods) to receive. Kitsune is the Japanese word for fox. Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore and have become closely associated with Inari, a Shinto kami and serve as his messenger. Thus, Ema's view...; small plaques, with messages, delivered by mfox.
