also: ふしどころ
Archaic or literary term for a place to sleep; in modern Japanese, 寝室 (しんしつ) or ベッドルーム are far more common. May appear in historical texts or poetry.
In old tales, it is written that the noble's bedchamber was adorned with silk futons.
Nowadays, 臥所 is hardly used; 寝室 is the common word instead.
Archaic kanji spelling; 臥 means 'lie down' and 所 means 'place'. Rarely used in modern Japanese.
Variant spelling with okurigana; equally archaic.
Kana spelling for the alternate reading ふしどころ.
Compound of 臥し (ふし, continuative form of 臥す 'to lie down') + 所 (どころ/ど 'place'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the word follows a common pattern for location nouns.
