The fancy rolling thingie we got to be able to put our futons away in the closet each day… is the wrong size  After sweating over assembling it, and then puzzling over how to make things fit, we are demoralized. Needed to lie flat on the tatami for a while. It is special healing grass
@elana It is good stuff and do you have a kotatsu going?
@kerploppus no  there’s nowhere in our apartment where one would fit… believe me, it’s been a topic of discussion 
@elana Well, that's a sad country song. When I get my place in Sapporo, I think I'm gonna make my buying decisions around having a kotatsu second only to station proximity. I plan on looking for an older place with at least one washitsu in it for lazy loafing. Put a lil' fridge/heater in it for drinks, a cozy kotatsu... That's living!
