The kotatsu is a clever Japanese invention that comes from 14th century and which is very useful for the winter sundays. It’s a mid-high wood platform covered by a big blanket, on which there’s a warm table. In Japan, the heat tables like this are used a central heater inside a house or a flat. We sit on zabuton on tatamis. This home accessory is a table, a bed and a sofa all at once, a relaxing and warm cocoon to read, talk and eat.
