About Japanese furniture: kotatsu are low tables with a heater and a heavy quilt under the tabletop. Often used to sleep under when it is very cold. Kakebuton is the top part, the "duvet" part of a futon set.
Summary: Iwaki Masahiko's life didn't turn out like he wanted it to and his brother's and Katou Youji's shameless behaviour doesn't make it easier to cope with more than thirty years of repressed... repression. But Masahiko is forced to look at the way he has lived his life until now and on his values he thought he had established so firmly. Serious changes are bound to happen...
