Not to get all picky or anything, but many students received such a scroll -- Tomiki, Mochizuki, Yonekawa, Shirata, Shioda, Kunigoshi, Yukawa and I'm sure plenty of others. Many of them remarked later that they didn't think they were important or didn't understand what they were at the time. Ms. Kunigoshi said that at the time she thought that hers was just some kind of notes.
No, what I'm talking about only Tomiki and Mochizuki received.

No one would mistake these scrolls for "notes." They're the official transmission scrolls of daito ryu. Of course, if you have some citation that anyone else got them, I'd be glad to review it.
