The Kotatasu



A kotatsu is a table with a heater underneath that can provide direct heat when you are seated at it. Sadly they ahve become extraordinarly ugly in modern Japan but there are some nice old ones and some nice new ones - mostly in sushi resturants. We will have two in our house. One as the main dining table (rebar pictured below) and one outside for the chilly scottish summers!
