Ug. I already replied to this thread, but It occurred to me that there may
also have been a "class taboo" on wheeled transportation. That is, only the
emperor or high ranked samurai could use them? Of course, if that were
true, then the samurai would undoubtedly consider riding in a wheeled cart
disgraceful, and therefore only the Emperor would use them.
