Heated Table

With the "other countries" section listing seven other countries which use "very similar" items, it would seem this article is about just one variety of a very common piece of furniture: the heated table. Perhaps an idea for the future would be to model this article around the general concept of a heated table with details of its implementation in various different cultures. The article about the Iranian korsi and the Japanese kotatsu are just two examples of this widely used piece of technology. 59.84.197.96 (talk) 08:57, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While this is an old thread, this may be of interest: the Heating table article existed but only discussed Kotatsu, so was merged/redirected here. A more general article could exist in the future, or a disambiguation one... —Paleo Neonate – 17:46, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

futon

I changed the one usage of futon to blanket because the link for it led to an article explaining the fold up mattress type of futon as opposed to the blanket use of the word futon. I was also the writer of the last few additions, I just wasn't logged in. Sorry. Malnova 03:12, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

How about adding info on the table kotatsu (for Westerners). JH —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 121.72.248.204 (talk) July 11, 2007

Korsi

These are also commonly used in Iran, where they're called Korsi. Very traditional. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.26.54.10 (talk) 22:53, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I second the Korsi usage; as soon as I read the reference to Kotatsu in Washitsu, I was reminded of the Korsi. It is very traditional in Iran and part of the folklore. Though I do not know the extent of its contemporary usage, it would not surprise me at all if it is still used in esp. rural areas. (N.B. The northern third of the country, and the mountainous areas, receive a lot of snow in winter.) AFAIK, hot charcoals are used as the heat source. --P00r (talk) 02:36, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming "Use" Section

I am adding to the information under the section "Use" which touches on more cultural concepts of the kotatsu in addition to its practical uses. Thus, I am renaming the "Use" section to "Use in Cultural Context." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kairi p (talk • contribs) 21:16, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
