Korea: Three young women with a gama< / i> or palanquin and bearers, early 20th century.

A Korean <i>gama</i> was a closed chair used by upper classes and nobles, both men and women. In Korea, royalty and aristocrats were carried in elaborately decorated litters called <i>gama</i>. <i>Gama</i>s were primarily used by royalty and government officials. There were six types of <i>gama</i>, each assigned to different government official rankings. In traditional weddings, the bride and groom are carried to the ceremony in separate <i>gama</i>s. Because of the difficulties posed by the mountainous terrain of the Korean peninsula and the lack of paved roads, <i>gama</i>s were preferred over wheeled vehicles.
