Descrição
One popular means of transport is the norimono, or noble palanquin. A norimono consists of a small covered chamber in which a single passenger may recline on a soft surface, shadowed on the left and right by curtains. The chamber is suspended from two beams that extend to the front and rear. Four or more tireless servants bear the norimono on their shoulders. A norimono looks more expensive and decadent than the faster horse- or ox-drawn cart, but it is in fact cheaper and more reliable. Animals require pasture, which is not always easy to find, and wheeled vehicles can sustain damage on rough roads that sturdy humans navigate with ease. The norimono also allows the occupant to conceal their identity or show off their opulence at their discretion. (Cost: 12 koku. Rarity: 7. Qualities: Resplendent.)
