Rickshaw drivers Akina Suzuki (right), 19, and Misato Otoshi, 30, live stream on social media to promote their activities, at the Asakusa district in Tokyo, Japan on August 17, 2023. Otoshi is one of a handful of women who have chosen to pull rickshaws in Tokyo with less than 10 per cent of all applicants getting a job offer. “Even though it’s considered to be men's jobs, I thought it would be fun if I, a woman, could also do it”, she said. “I thought that being something out of the ordinary would be a strength for me”.
