Japanese lifestyle ~ 3 ~ futon tataki

 

  Japanese people sleep on futon.
When we clean the futon, we dry under the sun. Some ticks die by drying under the sun.
And we usually use the futon tataki.
(see above)


  Japanese people have belived  we can dust the ticks by beating the futon.
But I found a information on internet. That is, ''beating by futon tataki  was useless to dust the ticks''.
Beating by futon tataki may just damage your futon.
The cottons in the futon may be damaged.

I did not know that... ^ ^ ;

I found photos.There are many design of futon tataki.

In tokyo, people have not used futon tataki these days.
