Rickshaws were first introduced in Bangladesh in the 1930s from Japan, where the three-wheeled vehicles were known as 'nintaku'. The idea of decorating the leg-powered contraptions took off in Bangladesh the 1950s with the tradition following the simple yet colourful style then used by painters producing movie billboards.
