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. American naturalist and Japanologist Edward Morse, who lived in Japan in the Meiji Period, recorded in his diary his enjoyment of a jinrikisha ride. This photograph seems to be a comic photograph taken in a studio.==Date:Middle Meiji (1883-1897), Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number50‐5‐0]
