This paper describes how the jinrikisha has been discussed in Japan from its invention to the present. It considers Japanese modernity not in terms of abstract thought or ideas, but in terms of how a familiar object, the jinrikisha, was used and discussed in modern times. On the one hand, forms of transportation are conditioned by the times in which they emerge. On the other hand, new forms of transportation also create new relations between people and between humans and their environment. Changes in modern society must be understood in close relation with the development of actual modes of transit. The jinrikisha is closely related with Japanese modernity and the progress of modernization. Thus, studying the previously neglected jinrikisha can contribute to the elucidation of the experience of Japanese modernity.}, pages = {90--101}, title = {日本の近代化過程における人力車問題}, volume = {4}, year = {2013} }
