Usually a uro-keeper does it. The mushi--uro--naturally live in enclosed spaces, and travel between them by their own network of passageways. But sometimes, uro are found in double cocoons. An uro-keeper re-weaves these into two separate cocoons, and then seals them so the uro can only travel between them.
Since we mushi-shi travel frequently, we carry one of these cocoons with us, while the keeper holds onto the others. Letters meant for us are sent to the keeper instead, who then passes it along through the appropriate cocoon.
[Another inhale-exhale of smoke.]
It's not necessary for non-mushi-shi to carry them, though anyone could, I suppose. [He shrugs, mildly] They do require caution, however. Mishandling an uro cocoon could trap you in the maze of passageways for the rest of your natural life.
