A mother and her daughter in a basket palanquin

A mother and her daughter in a basket palanquin

The kago (palanquin) was widely used in the Edo Period. Many types were developed for different social classes and purposes. This palanquin has no straw curtain and so is probably a yamakago used for mountain passages. A cushion was used to absorb shocks. The bearers are wearing loincloths, straw sandals and headbands, and they are holding ikizue (breath sticks) to regulate breathing while walking.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number69‐56‐0]
