Meaning of "jinrikisha" in English

The word "jinrikisha" refers to a small, human-powered vehicle originated in Japan. It's a type of rickshaw pulled by a person, typically used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The term is derived from the Japanese words "jin" meaning human, "riki" for power or force, and "sha" meaning vehicle. Jinrikisha were commonly used for short-distance travel within cities before the introduction of motorized transport became prevalent. Although largely replaced by modern vehicles, they remain a cultural symbol and are still seen in some areas as a nostalgic tourist attraction.
