Reference書画の落款(らつかん)に、依頼主の名など、その書画を書いた理由を書き添えること。

日本画や書を描いたあと毛筆でさらさらと(〜さんへ)と題したものをいう。自分でもっている分にはいいが、美術商が扱う場合、為書きあると値が落ちてしまうので表具師に出して、為書きをとってもらい高く売る場合がある。

Current Entry警察手帳 [けいさつてちょう] /(n) police notebook/ (1830990)
Headword 1警察手帳
Reading 1けいさつてちょう
Part-of-speechn
English 1police identification card
Referencejapanese wikipedia page on 警察手帳, google images likewise.
CommentPolice notebook and 警察手帳 do not match in meaning:

A police notebook, pocket notebook or PNB is a notebook used by police officers to officially record details and incidents while on patrol.

警察手帳(けいさつてちょう)は、日本において、・・・身分を証明するものとして使用される。

Therefore, 警察手帳 is what we would call a police ID card.

Part-of-speechn
English 1street racer
Reference-屋 refers to the person/people committing the act, as is also evident from the Japanese wikipedia page: ・・・暴走する人や集団を指す俗称。 so "street racer" is more appropriate.
