A woman on a jinrikisha

A woman on a jinrikisha

The rickshaw replaced the palanquin in the Meiji era. Izumi Yosuke invented it in 1869. The wheels were fashioned from wood but were later made of rubber and ensured a more comfortable ride. A folding cover was installed in the rear of the seat.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number13‐8‐0]
