permission of traveling through

They used to have check points and travellers usually need permissions to go through each feudal domains.

For the scene of Oishi and Kai got into Kira's castle with the traveling actors, we needed to make some permissions.

Still now we see wooden ‘pass’ in many sight seeing places as souvenirs. My first image of ‘pass’ was one of these wooden ones.

But then when I researched through references I only came across paper ones. Notes that says whoever carry this allowed to pass the check points.

Practical but still beautiful writings.

So we made some of those but we also decided to go for the wooden ones, too.
I just showed rough images of wooden passes to prop maker, and he wonderfully made some pieces of wood shortly afterwards. These guys can make anything marvelously.

Then I wrote, painted dirty afterwards with some stamps to make them look authentic but actually stamp only says names of flowers or something completely unrelated. Anyway.
They have never been seen on screen.

They say ‘going through’
