The Collection of the Edo-Tokyo Museum: Life and Transportation in Edo-Tokyo

This special exhibition explores the various modes of transportation utilized in Edo and Tokyo from the perspective that transportation reflects the era of a city. Through the lens of transportation, it delves into the activities of the diverse people living in the city. Drawing from the transportation materials preserved by the Edo-Tokyo Museum, the exhibition highlights how in the past, different modes of transportation were available based on one's social status or class, and also sheds light on the presence of artisans who crafted these vehicles. Furthermore, the exhibition is structured into chapters, introducing the transition from the human-pulled rickshaws of the Meiji era to the advent of railways.
