Comments: | WWW images certainly confirm the meaning. 76k hits - it's amazing it's not in a dictionary. |

Refs: | Found this expression today on an explanation sheet related to the operation of a hotel or guest house (minshuku) and noticed it was not in the database. Weblio mentions it only as "storage tank", and the other dictionaries i have access to don't have it. What is meant here is specifically the kind of tank in a building from which people draw hot water for their bath, shower, etc. |

Comments: | At the moment the database returns this: 貯 【おさむ】 Osamu (u) NA 湯槽 湯船; 湯舟; 湯槽; 湯ぶね 【ゆぶね】 (n) (1) bathtub; (2) boat with a bathtub rented to customers (Edo period); ED This does not help any user who doesn't already know the expressions 貯槽 or 貯水槽... and anybody who does know those expressions understands the meaning of 貯湯槽 without a dictionary... :-) |
