I don't think it is from Japan. Papasan is not Japanese and it definitely not a traditional Japanese furniture. I think it is from Indonesia.

I also don't think it originates in Japan, so I have removed that phrase. --Tarnjp 05:31, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From personal experience, these were associated with Pier One Imports in my corner of Southern California. They were more of a SE Asian themed place rather than Japanese. --Bobak 21:00, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it called Papa-san? --Logotu (talk) 23:38, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that papasan chairs were invented in the Phillippnes, and weren't introduced to the US until the mid-60's. Pier 1 is responsible for the mass production and popularity of the chairs.
