Kitsuki Journal was the records made by the Kitsuki Magistrates, which were used to recall in absolute detail, the events they had recently witnessed. They were learned to write it at the end of one or several days, allowing to focus on their investigations. At the completion of a set of investigations, the magistrate turned in his records to the great library at Kitsuki castle. After the minions of the Lying Darkness ravaged many Rokugani libraries during the War Against Shadow, many of the journals were copied and stored in the Kitsuki Archives, within Shiro Mirumoto.
