A dobbin carrying rice bags and the driver

This is coloured photograph of a farming village taken in the early years of the Meiji Period. It shows four rice bags on the back of a draft horse. A small rice bag is seen on top of the other four. This draft horse is a small but powerful native species of Japan. The man in charge of the horse is a down-to-earth looking farmer. His attire suggests that it is late autumn or early winter. A few wooden barrels and pails are seen in the hut behind him. The pails may be used to carry manure.==Date:Middle Meiji (1883-1897), Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number51‐152‐0]

A jinrikisha fallen backward

The jinrikisha (person-powered vehicle) is a two-wheel cart with a puller and a customer on the seat. Said to have been invented by Izumi Yosuke, it gained popularity during the Meiji Period.
