Stool - sutsuru (English spelling) stool

Japanese: スツール - すつーる(英語表記)stool
Stool - sutsuru (English spelling) stool

A stool is a single-person seat with no backrest or armrests. It is used as a simple auxiliary chair or as a substitute for a decorative chair. However, because it has no backrest, it can tire the lower back and is not suitable for long-term use. When using it for work, the seat should be raised and care should be taken not to hunch over. A stool is the equivalent of a Japanese floor cushion. Western-style toilets are also sometimes called stools.

Japanese:

背もたれや肘(ひじ)掛けのない形式の1人用の腰掛をいう。簡易な補助用の椅子(いす)、または装飾用の椅子の代用として使われる。しかし背もたれがないため、腰が疲れて長時間の使用には向かない。作業用として使うときは座面を高くし、ねこ背の姿勢にならないよう注意する必要がある。スツールは日本の床几(しょうぎ)にあたるものである。洋式便器をスツールとよぶこともある。
