It’s a best investment... so my wife claims. She always claims, Kotatsu is a black hole. Once you go in, you won’t come out lol

Interesting, I had to google that too.

I understand that back in the day in some Asian cultures, they used to use charcoal pits under the table for a source of heat.

I wonder if that's what gives some Asians in this area the idea that they can use a charcoal BBQ for a source of heat inside their homes and wind up asphyxiating themselves?

@Ultramaroon has the original.

Hum would know since he was there when the original was painted.

I remember that back in my college days, some of the guys would make one of those out of a card table covered with a blanket. People would stick their heads underneath it. The source of heat was someone smoking a joint.

Shit. They told me it was an original.

A Japanese heated table? WTF?

I miss my waterbed.
It was super warm and comfy in the winter and nice and cool in the summer.
(Plus, back in the day... it was great fun to get the mrs. bouncing nudge, nudge, wink, wink!)

I suggest you not give up your full time retirement job to become an art appraiser -

Kotatsu have been around way before US Asian cultures. iirc it started in Muromachi period (1300’s)... so unless you’re THAT old lol

Well, my recollection was that the Kotatsu origins begin with the Japanese cooking hearth, known as the irori.

Of course, even my long term memory, gets a little foggy that far back -

They are called sweat lodges up in your neck of the woods -
