washitsu

A , or Japanese-style room, is a traditional Japanese-style room with tatami flooring, and possibly shoji and a tokonoma. It usually has fusuma, sliding, rather than hinged, doors.In the past, all Japanese rooms were washitsu, and Japanese people slept on the floor above the tatami on futons. Nowadays, many Japanese houses have only one washitsu, which is sometimes used for entertaining guests, and most rooms are Western-style. Many new construction Japanese apartments do not have washitsu at all, instead using linoleum or hardwood floors.
