Traditional dinner in Japan
I was digging through my archive today and found a couple of photos from my visit in Japan. What I remember most fondly was the visit to a WWOOF (world wide on organic farms) farm. In total I stayed there for two weeks. This is from one of the dinners we had there.
It was in february and still cold, so everyone was huddling under the kotatsu, a type of low table with heating under it. I loved sitting on the floor huddling there. What also amazes me is that kind of invention encourages company and talking with the people you live with. At the same time you can keep the other parts of the house cold and thus avoid wasting energy. However traditional japanese houses are very poorly isolated, but that is an entirely different story…
