Description and use

File:Japanese during travel on Tokajdo. Before 1902.jpg
Script error: No such module "lang". in use on the Tōkaidō. Kusakabe Kimbei

The basket of a Script error: No such module "lang". was roughly Template:Cvt long, and attached to bamboo uprights which were suspended by a large overhead single crossbeam. A roof of some type covered the top and screens could be used to cover the sides as protection from sun or rain. A Script error: No such module "lang". would be carried by a team of four men, who would take turns carrying the Script error: No such module "lang". on their shoulders; five or six miles could be traveled in one hour. One man would support the weight of the large overhead pole at each end and walked until he tired and switched with a rested carrier.[1][2] The Script error: No such module "lang". should not be confused with the more elaborate Script error: No such module "lang"., which were used by the samurai class and wealthy individuals.[3][4]
