I did not see this type of prayer wheels in many temples in Japan, but they are everywhere in Tibet, that I visited a couple of years ago. These ones are in Kodai-ji temple in Higashiyama, Kyoto.

I like the plaque (ema) with the boy in his underwear. You circle the parts of the body you want god to cure. The one in the bottom row has every part of his body circled. Ouch!

My daughter has been taking horse back riding lessons for 5 months. She fell in love with the horse and the experience. Unfortunately, the lady had to lease out her horse because she could not afford to keep it. This is a prayer about wanting to find a way to keep my daughter out on the farm and working with horses. The ultimate problem is the funds to do this. Anyway, it is just an artistic expression of my current prayer.
This is pen and ink in my prayer notebook.
Thank you for looking
It's hard to tell but the large squares are tiny paper prayer flags... experimenting with different glues and it didn't try as I had hoped, blurring the image. Also made of glass tile, tempered glass, and origami paper.
I was going for a Rajasthani quilt look.

The tallit (Hebrew: Hebrew: טַלִּית), also called tallis (Yiddish, plural taleysm), is a prayer shawl that is worn during the morning Jewish services (the Shacharit prayers) in Judaism, during the Torah service, and on Yom Kippur and other holidays. It has special twined and knotted fringes known as tzitzit attached to its four corners. The tallit is sometimes also referred to as the arba kanfot, meaning "four corners."

This image has started a good bit of conversation with several of my friends. I made the picture because I was fascinated with the layers of white and the blue patterns.
