This work was produced for the new release of a new work with the theme of "JAPAN".
I created a "Kago" that reminded me of the Edo period.
'Kago'' means a palanquin, it is a vehicle that carries people and transports them by human power.
The part where the person sits is hung on a single pole, and multiple people carry the stick from the front and back.
It was often used by nobles until the Edo period.
In the Edo period, high-class palanquins with decorative sliding doors, such as those ridden by princes and samurai families, were called ''Norimono''.
I made the ideal "Kago" that I want to ride.
