Tokyo Rickshaw Tourists riding one of the ubiquitous rickshaws in the Asakusa area of Tokyo. Navigating among the many shiny glass and steel skyscrapers that fill the Asakusa skyline, rickshaws are just one of the many charms of Edo (former name of Tokyo) that have continued to thrive since the latter half of the 19th century. Once a menial form of labor, rickshaw drivers nowadays have to pass a technical exam and a knowledge test after undergoing training for a month. The drivers are naturally into fitness, have a love of history, and often can even speak several languages. Pentax K-S2 50mm ƒ/8 1/400 sec. ISO 1600.
