Why is Japan the only place that uses these things? I always put blankets over the vent in my room to imitate it, but it's just not the same. :(

centralized heating is lame as hell

I like the simplicity of a table with just a blanket. I hate dry hot air so I can't stand heaters and shit but wrapping yourself up in a thick blanket is the dream

I don't think you understand how a kotatsu works. It's not just a table with a blanket, anyone can do that anywhere.

There's a heater built into the actual kotatsu, or if you're using a really really old one that your grandmother owns, a pot with burning charcoal.

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 9 22:01:48 2015 No.14334938 >>14334919 Even before electric heaters they've had a heat source, like the aforementioned charcoal. There were a variety of different method of inducing heat. 炬燵 individual kanji translated to torch feet warmer.
