Jim-san,
Those are called Omikuji, a kind of fortune cookie thingy without a cookie.
After you draw one, hang it on the rack (sometimes tree branches, fences, etc.).

Thanks for the explanation Yamaya. I didn't know what they were either. The rack is in front of the Koyasan Buddhist Temple in Little Tokyo.
