Kotatsu (Japanese-style heated table) - Kotatsu

Japanese: こたつ(炬燵) - こたつ

A heating device unique to Japan. There are sunken kotatsu, which is cut into the tatami mat, and movable kotatsu. Charcoal fire, tadon, charcoal briquettes, etc. were used as heat sources, but in recent years, simple electric kotatsu have become widespread. An electric heater is attached to the top of the tower, but infrared electric kotatsu, which emits infrared lamps, are also widely used. → Anka (fire)
