YAMAZEN ESK-751(B) Casual Kotatsu Japanese Heated Table 75x75 cm Black by YAMAZEN

Product Information

The kotatsu was designed with traditional Japanese clothing in mind, allowing heat to enter through the lower part of the clothes and exit through the neck, thus being able to warm the whole body. Children are told that if they sleep under a kotatsu they will catch a cold; however, it is common for pets (such as cats) to sleep under kotatsu by being able to stand with their whole body inside the blanket-similar to cats sleeping near underfloor heating vents in Western countries (Japanese homes do not have this type of heating). The word oki-gotatsu ( 置き炬燵) is derived from the kanji 置き (oki) meaning placement, 炬 meaning torch or fire, and 燵 meaning foot warmer. This also allowed them to direct the cords to the center of the table where the power would be run from underneath. Finally, we can say that in addition to the above-mentioned advantages, the kotatsu table also has a very practical side.

Due to our unique construction of bipolar lamp housing and the lamps themselves, our heaters for restaurants, bars, cafes and pubs use approximately a third of the power to create the same output in heat effect. In the evening family members gather around the kotatsu to enjoy food, television, games, and conversation while keeping the lower half of their bodies warm. And I say ‘everyone’ because families spend winter evenings sitting together at the table after dinner watching a film, chatting or playing games. Vireoo is Latin for ‘I am green’, which is no coincidence, as our products truly are the most eco-friendly outdoor heaters on the market. It is only with the emergence of electricity and electric heating appliances that the system evolved in the 20th century.

The Japanese word horigotatsu (掘り炬燵) results from the union of the kanji 掘-り (pit, hole), 炬 (torch or fire), and 燵 (foot warmer). In small apartments, especially in the densely populated metropolis that is Tokyo, storage space is key. Of course, heating other rooms in the house, particularly the bedroom became more desirable and so the portable kotatsu was born. The blanket was placed on top of the structure at all times, creating a warm place where it was possible to put one's legs once seated.

Statio high heated table is a perfect a solution for hospitality heated table with an integrated infrared heater. Although the Hot Table provides a pleasant warmth to the lower body, the surface of the heater does not heat above the contact heat. The Diablo partners with a leading stone fabricator to offer an incredibly strong slimline ‘top in three eye catching styles, with other options available. Instead of placing the charcoals in the irori, they were placed in an earthen pot which was placed on the tatami making the kotatsu transportable.

The use of kotatsu provides a relatively inexpensive source of heat to rely on during the winter months, taking into account that futons are able to retain warm air. The word hori-gotatsu ( 掘り炬燵) is derived from the kanji 掘り (hori) meaning ditch, digging, 炬 (ko) meaning torch or fire, and 燵 (tatsu) meaning foot warmer. There are few things in the modern Tokyo home and apartment more vital than space itself, and so having a cleverly made kotatsu that completely maximizes space without sacrificing the quality of craftsmanship, warmth, and functionality we all want from a top-quality kotatsu is absolutely essential.
