A woman in a basket palanquin

A woman in a basket palanquin

Palanquin carriers dressed in various attire but always held a cane. This cane is called ikizue and was used to rest. When it rained, palanquin carriers wore hats and straw coats, but in the case of a yamakago as in the photograph, there was nothing more than a simple roof, so the passenger must have gotten wet.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number1‐11‐0]
