Tatamis
The size of a room in Japan is often measured by the number of tatami mats required to cover the floor. The traditional dimensions of a mat is 0.90 meters (2' 11.4") by 1.80 meters (5' 10.8"). In this case, the size of the room would be about 32 square meters (350 square feet).
Sunken Hearths
Similar to kotatsu (low wooden table with a heater underneath) but there's a sunken pit beneath the table to make a bench. Users can then sit comfortably with their legs underneath the table instead of kneeling on the floor.
Fukuwarai
Fukuwarai is a traditional game that is played in New Year for Japanese. Think of it as a sort of 'pin the tail on the donkey', except you are making faces instead.
