Seats / Folding Stools

[md02geist]

I have looked and looked and looked but I cannot find the name for the folding camp stools that commanders are often pictured sitting on with their retainers around them. Does anyone know the word for them? Thank you!

Of course two minutes after I post it I do one last search and find them: shogi. Ha.

Either Shougi or Shōgi is better. Shogi won't work properly. John.

Try 床几 in your search engine. I have four of these at home! My wife thinks...

Hi Piers.,

 

Would 床几  be included  as その他 - "Sonohoka" in Katchu related equipment terms?

Thank you that is probably why I was having problems with it. And if you just google "samurai stool" you get a really odd lot of stuff. LOL.

Hello Malcolm, good to see your post! Unfortunately I cannot answer your question as I am not sure to which site you refer.

 

Shogi has a long o and a short i, important differences in the Japanese language, but using the characters 床几 will give md02geist good visual results on a Japanese search engine.

Good morning Piers.,

 

The old Toraba site referred to items such as Muchi, Gunbai, Sashimono, and Kegutsu as Sonohoka.

 

I wondered if it was a general term for Accessories or literally the "et ceteras" of Armour.

Ah, no, sorry I misunderstood you.

 

Sono hoka, (Sono ta) その他 = extras, for anything, even at the bottom of the agenda for a company meeting.
