A woman in a basket palanquin

This may be a shitekago because the straw curtain seems to be rolled up. This kind of palanquin was made simply of four bamboo poles and braided bamboo sticks with straw curtain attached. The palanquin bearers had no set uniforms but carried ikizue (breath sticks) to regulate breathing. ==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number96‐10‐0]

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]

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]
