Examples

1

Consider that a traditional Japanese building is 3 kens wide.
Convert this width from kens to Span (cloth).

Answer:

Given:

The length in kens is:

Length_(Kens) = 3

Formula:

The formula to convert length from kens to span (cloth) is:

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = Length_(Kens) / 0.10791366905290704

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_(Kens) = 3 in the above formula.

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 3 / 0.10791366905290704

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 27.8

Final Answer:

Therefore, 3 ken is equal to 27.8 span.

The length is 27.8 span, in span (cloth).

2

Consider that a Japanese temple's hall is 5 kens long.
Convert this length from kens to Span (cloth).

Answer:

Given:

The length in kens is:

Length_(Kens) = 5

Formula:

The formula to convert length from kens to span (cloth) is:

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = Length_(Kens) / 0.10791366905290704

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_(Kens) = 5 in the above formula.

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 5 / 0.10791366905290704

Length_{(Span (cloth))} = 46.3333

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 ken is equal to 46.3333 span.

The length is 46.3333 span, in span (cloth).

Kens

A ken is a historical unit of length used in various cultures, particularly in Asia. The length of a ken can vary depending on the region and context. In Japan, one ken is approximately equivalent to 6 feet or about 1.8288 meters.

The ken was traditionally used in architectural and construction measurements, particularly in the design of buildings and layout of spaces.

Ken measurements were utilized in historical architecture and construction practices in Asian cultures. Although not commonly used today, the unit provides historical context for traditional measurement standards and practices in building and design.

Span (cloth)

A span (cloth) is a unit of length used historically in textiles and cloth measurement. One span (cloth) is approximately equivalent to 24 inches or 0.6096 meters.

The span (cloth) is based on the width of a person's outstretched hand from thumb to little finger, providing a practical measure for fabric lengths and textile work.

Spans (cloth) were used in the textile industry for measuring and cutting fabric. While less common today, the unit remains of historical interest and reflects traditional practices in cloth measurement and tailoring.
