Japanese Style

This is for my American friends who have never been to Japan!Futon - The real futon is not as thick as you see in the US and they don't sit anywhere but directly on the floor.

Japanese homes have a storage space for futon. There's a board to devide the space into top and bottom.

This is called "zabuton", a square cousion to sit down.

Japanese bath - it is separated from the sink area. Toilet is a small room itself separated from the bathroom.

There is a space to clean yourself before going into the bathtub. You sit down on the little stool when you clean. The bathtub comes with a lid to keep the water warm as you share the same water with your family.

It also has a shower for your convenience.
