kotatsu
Blanket-covered warming table
A kotatsu is a low Japanese table with an electric heater mounted underneath and a heavy blanket draped over the frame, trapping warmth for people sitting around it.
Traditional Japanese homes often lack central heating, making the kotatsu a cozy gathering spot in winter: We spent the evening under the kotatsu watching TV.
