i saw the word 人力車 (jinrikisha) in a graded reader and thought, "a person-powered vehicle, oh kinda like a rickshaw i guess.

...wait a second."

"Geisha in a Rickshaw" (c. 1900), captured by an anonymous Japanese photographer.
Captured around 1900 during the late Meiji period, this evocative monochrome photograph depicts a geisha seated poised within a rickshaw (jinrikisha), accompanied by two pullers (sha-fu). Framed within an arched top border characteristic of turn-of-the-century album mounts and stereoview prints, the composition unfolds along a curved cobblestone path (ishidatami) bordered by traditional bamboo fencing and a thatched gate structure. Seated gracefully atop the high carriage, the woman holds an open oiled-paper umbrella (wagasa), her central position elevated above her attendants to establish a compelling visual and social dynamic. The woman’s attire exemplifies the refined formality of Meiji-era entertainment district dress. Her hair is sculpted into an elaborate nihongami coiffure adorned with delicate hairpins (kanzashi). She wears a dark formal kimono accented by bold, high-contrast motifs sweeping across the sleeves and lapels, paired with an intricately woven brocade obi and crisp inner collar layers (kasane-eri). In contrast, the two pullers are clad in utilitarian working attire consisting of dark cotton coats (hanten), fitted trousers (momohiki), and traditional woven straw sandals (waraji). The white calligraphic text printed along the collar of the front puller’s jacket denotes the registration number and license details of the rickshaw guild. Invented in Tokyo during the late 1860s, the jinrikisha rapidly became the definitive mode of urban transport across Japan, serving as the primary vehicle for geisha traveling between their residences (okiya) and teahouses (ochaya). Unlike many commercial photographs of the era produced for foreign tourists that relied on staged studio backdrops, this image offers an authentic outdoor perspective. The candid, direct gazes of all three subjects provide a compelling window into the social structure, material culture, and transportation networks of turn-of-the-century Japan.

“Taxi” in 1886 Japan. Photography by Adolpho Farsari
Captured around 1886 by the Italian photographer Adolfo Farsari (1841–1898), this hand-colored albumen print offers a vivid look at a traditional mode of human-powered transport in Meiji-era Japan: the kago (駕籠), a suspended litter or palanquin. Long before automobiles, the kago served as a primary short-to-medium-distance transport option for urban and mountain transit, particularly across steep or narrow terrain where wheeled vehicles like the jinrikisha (rickshaw) were impractical. This open-air variation, often referred to as a yama-kago or basket litter, consists of a woven bamboo seat slung beneath a heavy wooden carrying pole (nagaye). The overhead panel holds travel essentials, including spare woven sandals (zōri) and belongings wrapped in a red furoshiki, while conical straw hats (sugegasa) hang from the sides for weather protection. Two sturdy bearers (kagokaki) sustain the weight on their shoulders while leaning on wooden walking staffs for stability, clad in typical working-class Meiji attire featuring indigo-dyed short coats (hanten), split-toe footwear, and cloth headbands (hachimaki). Nestled side-by-side inside the padded hammock-like seat are two young women dressed in layered winter kimonos with prominent red under-collars (han-eri) and lap covers (kakebuton). Operating out of Yokohama, Farsari was renowned for the exceptional quality of his hand-colored works, employing skilled Japanese artisan painters who meticulously applied watercolors to silver albumen prints to capture the rich material textures of daily life for late 19th-century collectors.

The lovely #rickshaws at Yasaka Pagoda #Kyoto #Japan
------
Through Kyoto's timeless pathways,
Onward the jinrikisha glides each day.
With Yasaka in sight, with a gaze,
Reminiscence of an era's grace.

In every life we
have some trouble
But when you worry
you make it double
Don't worry be happy
Ain't got no cash
ain't got no style
ain't got no one
to make you smile
Don't worry be happy

Bobby McFerrin, 20th century

Venkatesh, the undisputed 'King Of Chengam Road', smiles equanimously in his modified hand-operated tricycle rickshaw, a mobility aid often used by polio survivors or others with physical disabilities. Wearing a blue shirt and red shorts, he is surrounded by people interacting amongst themselves. A man in a red dhoti stands on the paved street in the foreground with his back to the camera. The word 'rickshaw' comes from the Japanese word jinrikisha, meaning 'man-power carriage', which is especially applicable in this case. Don't Worry, Be Happy", the first a cappella song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, was inspired by a quote from Indian spiritual master Meher Baba. Its inclusion in the film 'Cocktail' significantly boosted its popularity.

Yasaka Pagoda (Hōkan-ji Temple) towering over a narrow, lantern-lit street in the Higashiyama District of Kyoto.

Yasaka Pagoda and Rickshaws at Night This evocative photograph captures the historic Yasaka Pagoda (Hōkan-ji Temple) towering over a narrow, lantern-lit street in the Higashiyama District of Kyoto. The pagoda, a celebrated symbol of the city, is brilliantly illuminated, casting a warm golden glow from its five tiered eaves against a dark, dramatic sky where a full moon peers through swirling clouds. In the foreground, the cobblestone street is occupied by traditional rickshaws (jinrikisha), with pullers and passengers silhouetted against the ambient light. Small floor lanterns line the path, their soft flickers reflecting off the dark wooden facades of the surrounding traditional buildings, creating a timeless scene that feels like a journey back into the Edo period.

Didn't do #throwbackthursday this week... But have some deer from 2016! Bowing deer of Nara, Japan. #deer #photography
Deer standing on pavement, looking into camera (probably seeing if the camera holder has food.) Deer laying on soil, near a railing and monument in background. Deer bowing to a Jinrikisha (rickshaw) driver, in the hopes of getting something to eat. Deer holding a biscuit in mouth. Looking very happy!

Jinrikisha es el nombre que recibe en Japón un tipo de vehículo ligero de dos ruedas que se desplaza por tracción humana (generalmente a pie, tirando de él).
Con más de 160 años de antigüedad, está más de moda que antes:

A (very) early walk to finally revisit one of my favorite places in the world.
A narrow alleyway in Gion near sunrise, the alley entirely in shadow as the sun starts to light the mountain visible at the end of the alley. Power lines criss-cross the sky. Poster and husband pose for a selfie in front of the Niomon Gate at Kiyomizudera. The gate is a large structure notable for its pagoda roof and bright red underside, serving as one of the main landmarks of the temple. There are a lot of stairs and, notably (if you know the overtourism problem), not a lot of people, because it is six AM in the damn morning. A narrow cobblestone street (Ninnenzaka) near Kiyomizudera. People are starting to gather and move down the street, as well as a jinrikisha (rickshaw). The traditional machiya houses that line the street are all different heights as the street rises ahead, and the effect is that you can see multiple levels of depth as the traditional Japanese rooftops overlap. Technically this is Kodai-ji and not Kiyomizudera but down here in the alt text we’ll keep that between us. The photo is looking up at the tree canopy in a bamboo grove, a narrow band of sky visible.

Ame, bióloga, maestra de ciencias, creía en la frontera que existe más allá de lo que sabemos. Hablaba con espíritus y tenía sueños lúcidos. Le dió la vuelta al mundo en tren, en jinrikisha, en canoa, elefante, camellos, caballos, a pie, de todo.
