The Property Registry (Touki)

仮登記

karitōkiかりとうき

Provisional registration

A placeholder registration that preserves priority for a right that is not yet final — for example a conditional sale. Decades-old provisional registrations linger on many rural titles; each one must be investigated and cancelled before a clean purchase is possible.
