The other day, I was asking one of my friends what her plan would be for this coming weekend. She was telling me that she would have to wait for her furniture delivery all day on Sunday, and that she wouldn’t be able to go anywhere. That’s no fun! I replied.. then come to think of it, I thought I would do a quick vocabulary lesson on furniture for my next post. So, here it is.  These are collection of Japanese words that are related to “furniture”. Furniture is all around us at home, office, and public places. So, read on and learn and memorize these so you can build more Japanese vocabulary. Enjoy!
