All Litters and Sedan Chairs

Wheel-less passenger vehicles carried on poles by bearers, used in China, India, Japan and Europe to carry people of rank through crowded streets. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the vehicle a litter, sedan chair, palanquin, dooly or norimono. It excludes wheeled carriages and sleds. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
