Seal, Mark

Mnemonic

Imagine breaking and bending a comb so you can use it to stamp your seal onto things.

Mnemonic

You need this seal to stay at an inn (いん). All inns require official paperwork, so you had to improvise and make a seal on the fly.

Hopefully the inn accepts this seal... or you aren't going to have a place to sleep tonight. And it kind of just looks like you dipped a comb in ink and pressed it around on some paper.
