Tsūkō-tegata

Tsūkō-tegata, "passage wooden pass", were reusable wooden tablets that allowed a Rokugani to travel using a specific road. They were inscribed with information on the route and sealed in red by the issuing party, usually those who wer responsible for local road maintenance. There were no laws governing their use and thus no guarantee that magistrates or clan patrols would accept them; their authority extended only so far as a magistrate recognized the issuer's seal and approved of the nature of the bearer's business.
