In college, our sectional couch’s name was Bertha. She didn’t make it past our senior year, and was relegated to the dumpster on move out day.
We had a sectional in college called the Indoor Entertainment Center.
Love Sack.
Is that what J.D. Vance calls his sofa?
Not really and certainly not in Japanese.
First, the OP is looking for specific furniture with proper names, and there isn’t a physical structure made out of wood, stone, or metal, etc, with the name “Chrysanthemum Throne.” As per your site, there is a throne:
The characters are ** 高御座 (Literally, “high seat” (and yes, that was a deliberate choice by me over “chair”.
The “Chrysanthemum Throne” is a term coined by Westerners and used in a metonymic sense to symbolize the position of the emperor. Poking around the net, it seems to have been invented in the 18th century.
The Japanese term is 皇位, kōi. This is is improperly translated in wiki as “imperial seat”, when it more correctly means “imperial position.”
The Japanese word for generic thrones is 玉座 gyokuza which means royal seat / chair. The second kanji 座 is used in Takamikura and means seat / chair.
Japanese doesn’t use “throne” to symbolize the position of the emperor and 皇位, kōi “imperial position” is mostly used in post WWII Japan to discuss the line of succession in the imperial family. There are large issues concerning that, but this is outside the scope of this thread.
The Resolute Desk is only one of several desks used in the Oval Office.
Counts as furniture?
Or not used at all depending on the president.
Could these have inspired the “Devil’s Seat” in the “Bishop’s Hostel” in Edgar Allen Poe’s The Gold Bug?
I have no idea what you’re saying here but yes, I expect that there was only one desk in the Oval Office at a time, with the rest being used elsewhere, in storage or perhaps in the Smithsonian.
It was just a silly nonpartisan political joke.
