Part 2/8:
Traditional Use of KATU
The basic use of a KATU involves an electric heater attached beneath the table, covered with a warm blanket. This simple setup provides a cozy space for family members to gather. Enjoying seasonal treats like oranges and hot Japanese tea while watching TV is a cherished winter pastime. Oranges, being famous for their presence in winter, are easy to eat, long-lasting, and packed with vitamins—making them an ideal companion to the warmth of the KATU.
