Closet; built-in wardrobe. A recessed storage space with sliding doors found in traditional Japanese rooms.

A distinctly Japanese architectural feature, typically used to store futons during the day. Usually has an upper and lower shelf. Different from a Western closet — 押入れ literally means 'a place to push things into.' Modern apartments may have クローゼット (closet) instead.
