Inch

An inch is a unit of length used primarily in the imperial and U.S. customary systems. It is commonly used in countries like the United States, Canada, and the UK for measuring shorter lengths. One inch equals 2.54 centimeters. There are 12 inches in a foot. Inches are often used to measure things like screen sizes, paper dimensions, or body measurements. For example, a standard smartphone screen might be about 6 inches. The symbol for inch is "in" or a double quote mark (″). Rulers, measuring tapes, and toolkits often include inches for easy reference. Although the metric system is more widely used globally, inches remain common in certain industries and countries for specific applications.

Ken

A ken is a traditional Japanese unit of length used mainly in architecture and construction. It measures the distance between two pillars in traditional Japanese buildings and is roughly equivalent to 6 Japanese feet (shaku) or about 1.82 meters (approximately 6 feet).

The ken was a standard module in Japanese design, influencing room sizes and proportions in temples, houses, and other structures. Its use helped maintain harmony and consistency in traditional building layouts.

Though largely replaced by the metric system today, the ken remains significant in studying traditional Japanese architecture and cultural heritage.
