  • Description:  Proshanto Kumar Das, son of Raj Kumar Das, best known as RK Das, one of the first generation rickshaw artists in Bangladesh, is busy in painting a rickshaw art at his studio in capital Dhaka, on May 3, 2012. The rickshaw art is a form of pop art that depicts our urban culture and folklore of Bangladesh. 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. A self-taught painter, Das first started painting rickshaw plates in 1953.
