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.

Summary:

1 ken ≈ 1.82 meters (6 feet)
