Doji Nagori (exp) and Deck Construction Rules (L5R rules board)

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Doji Nagori Political Limited: Target a card in your hand. Offer it as a gift, showing it to another player. He may accept, putting it into his hand; if he does, you gain Honor equal to its Focus Value. If he chooses not to accept it, discard it and draw 2 cards.

Deck Construction No more than one copy of each Event, Ring, and Unique card, by card title, may be included in the play deck. No more than three copies of any card of the other types, by card title, can be included in a play deck.

Does Doji Nagori's ability allow a player to circumvent deck construction rules? Can I give a player a second Unique Action card, ie. Mysterious Deaths, or a second Ring with the same name and are they allowed to accept? If they do accept are they allowed to put a second Ring of the same name into play or play a Unique Action they have previously played?

Does Doji Nagori's ability allow a player to circumvent deck construction rules?

Construction rules only cover what occurs in preparation before a game. They do not prohibit effects that occur legally during the course of a game.
