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

Square decimeter (dm²) - small metric area

Square decimeter is a metric unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of 1 decimeter (0.1 meter). Used for small surface areas in product labeling, tiling, and heat-flux specifications.

  • Symbol: dm²
  • System: SI derived unit
  • Exact relations: 1 dm² = (0.1 m)² = 0.01 m² = 100 cm² = 10,000 mm²
  • Imperial/US equivalents: 1 dm² ≈ 0.107639 ft² ≈ 0.011959 yd² ≈ 15.5000 in²
  • Typical examples: a 10 cm × 10 cm tile = 1 dm²; packaging surface area; heat flux quoted in W/dm²
