The REIWA-125 is a box cart made from tiger-spotted bamboo. (A box cart is a handmade car that does not have an engine and runs solely on gravity.)

This was made by Taketora, a company in Japan that makes everything out of bamboo.

This box car was made to commemorate Taketora's 125th year anniversary(in 2019), and to participate in a race in Spain. They like to participate in events to teach the world about the usefulness of bamboo.

Even more impressive, is that they produced all-bamboo armor for the driver(and owner/artisan of Taketora), Yoshihiro Yamagishi, for the event.
