A ''korsi'' (also spelled as ''korsí'') (Persian spelling: کرسی) is a type of low table found in Iran, with a heater underneath it, and blankets thrown over it. It is a traditional item of furniture in Iranian culture. A family or other gathering sits on the floor around the "korsi" during meals and special events, like ''Nowruz'' (Persian/Zoroastrian New Year's Eve). "Korsi" used to be quite popular for entire families to gather together during yearly ''Yaldā'' celebrations. ''Korsis'' are generally heated with electric elements or, traditionally, with a brazier containing hot coals that is placed under the table. The table is covered with a thick cloth overhanging on all sides to keep its occupants warm. The occupants sit on large cushions around the "korsi" with the cloth over their laps. A special woven rug called ''ru-korsi'' (Persian: روکرسی) is usually placed over any blankets to protect them from food stains. ==See also== * Kotatsu, a similar Japanese item * Foot stove, a similar Dutch item 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「korsi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
