Japanese common objects

Post by ShadowZeroHeart »

蒲團 - futon
榻榻米 - tatami?
梅雨 - plum rain?
空磁碗 - ???

And feel free to add any queries here =X
God!!
You need not forgive me.
For those I love,
The violence brought about by sinful men
Shall now be used once more.
If you were created to save this world,
If there is a single shred of hope left for the future of mankind,
I am very sorry, but, please begone!

榻榻米- yeah, it's tatami.
梅雨- Japanese term for the rainy season. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asian_rainy_season for details :)

Will get back to you on 空磁碗- heard of it, but forgotten what it is.
