Tatami mat (畳, jō) - Japanese flooring unit of area

Tatami mat is a traditional Japanese flooring module used as a practical unit of area; room sizes are often stated by the count of mats (jō). Dimensions vary regionally, so one tatami has no single national standard.

  • Names/aliases: tatami, 畳 (jō); room size written as “n-jō”
  • System: Traditional Japanese (non-SI)
  • Typical sizes (area):

• Kyōma (Kyoto): 0.955 m × 1.910 m = 1.824 m² ≈ 19.63 ft²

• Chūkyōma (Nagoya): 0.910 m × 1.820 m = 1.656 m² ≈ 17.83 ft²

• Edoma/Kantōma (Tokyo area): 0.880 m × 1.760 m = 1.5488 m² ≈ 16.67 ft²

• Other regional modules exist; common range ≈ 1.55–1.82 m² per mat

  • Room estimates: 6-jō room ≈ 9–11 m² depending on region; 8-jō ≈ 12–15 m²
  • Construction note: buildings often use tatami modules as planning grids; mats are rectangular with length ≈ 2 × width

Arpent (arpent carré) - historical French/Canadian land area

Arpent is a traditional land-area unit from French measure, with region-dependent definitions; in Québec and Louisiana it commonly refers to the “square arpent.” Used historically in cadastral records, land grants, and property descriptions, and still encountered in legal and surveying contexts.

  • Names/aliases: arpent, arpent carré (square arpent); related linear unit: arpent (length)
  • System: Historical French/Canadian (and Louisiana) customary, non-SI
  • Québec (modern metric): 1 arpent (length) ≈ 58.47 m; 1 square arpent ≈ 3,418.9 m² ≈ 0.34189 ha ≈ 0.845 acres
  • Louisiana usage: “superficial arpent” for area; commonly treated ≈ 0.846 acres (≈ 3,424 m²), varies by historical source
  • Notes: Values differed by locale and era (Paris vs. provincial measures). Always verify the jurisdiction’s legal definition for archival deeds and surveys.
  • Typical examples: long-lot riverfront concessions described in arpents (e.g., frontage in linear arpents; parcel area in square arpents)
