Pop Japan

In Japan, where houses, in general, don't have a centralized heating system, a low wooden table with a heater and a comforter serves its purpose to keep a place warm during their coldest months. It is called Kotaku, and it is one of the things that are exclusively used in the country.

Watch as Chuka take us inside the best thing about the winter season in the Land of the Rising Sun -- the Kotatsu culture! How did Kotatsu exist, how does it built, how was it revolutionized, and moreover what makes this thing an enjoyable one during the winter?
