The dining room

This is basically an ordinary room, although in more traditional homes the dining table is the same height as those present in bedrooms. Here, it is usual for everyone to sit kneeling down. The problem with this stance is that it results in aches and cramps, hence the reason why cross-legged seating is preferable in younger generations.

Dinner should be conducted in silence once eating begins. Of course this isn't the case always.
