I'm sure that they had wheels, but the terrain was too mountainous to make
wheeled carts very useful.

I was thinking about adding a village to my medieval Japanes countryside
today when a thought occurred to me.  Did they have any land vehicles at

chariot.  Everything is carried around, either by hand or on the backs of
horses.  Am I crazy, or were there no wheels in medieval Japan?
