In ancient Japan, kitchens played a vital role in daily life. While the concept of a lazy Susan may not have been present, ancient Japanese kitchens had their own innovative storage solutions. Tiered shelves made of wood or bamboo were commonly used to store various kitchen items such as bowls, plates, and cooking utensils. The tiered design allowed for easy access to all items, making cooking and food preparation more efficient in ancient Japanese kitchens.
