Palanquin bearer

Japanese: 駕輿丁 - かよちょう
Palanquin bearer
In ancient times, they were laborers who carried palanquins and belonged to the left and right guards of the Imperial Guard and the Hyoe-fu. From the Kamakura period onwards, these people worked in commerce and industry, organized palanquin-carrying organizations, and prospered by being given exclusive rights to transport goods, especially rice, kimono, hoes, and shovels.
