yadofuda, shukusatsu 宿札 - visitor sign of a lodging
sekifuda 関札
During the Edo period, when a feudal lord (daimyo) was on trip to or from Edo, he stayed over night at an inn in a shukuba post station at the inn provided for him.
While he was there with his entourage, the inn put up a sign with his name at the entrance.
Other travelers would know that an important person was lodging there and could make other arrangements.
It was a wooden sign, about 1 meter long and 30 cm wide.
