@@1der1der If you are in the area with the irori or hibachi, you would be really warm, even hot in the winters! The irori is the area in the middle of one of the raised tatami rooms that had a live fire going to heat water or con simple dishes. The hibachi is small container that could hold heated charcoal and radiated a small amount of heat. If you weren't in the room with the irori or hibachi, you would have been unbelievably cold during the winters! It's kind of the same in Japan today. Almost no homes have central heating and cooling, so if you aren't in the room with the air conditioning unit, you either burn or freeze depending on the outside weather!

How did they stay warm in those types of houses?
