- quote -
Palanquins, or kago, the Edo equivalent of taxicabs,
were carried on the shoulders of two to four bearers. The palanquins built to daimyo specifications, known as norimono, were plusher than the ones used by commoners. The economy-class kago was a crude affair of split bamboo pieces woven on a frame of four bamboo poles. The palanquins used in the city were referred to as tsujikago ("crossroads kago") or machikago ("town kago").
