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 inch (in²) - Imperial/US area unit

- Symbol: in²
- System: Imperial/US customary
- Exact relations: 1 in² = (2.54 cm)² = 6.4516 cm² = 0.00064516 m² = 645.16 mm²
- Other relations: 1 in² = 1/144 ft² ≈ 0.006944444 ft² ≈ 0.000771605 yd²
- Typical examples: screen area, gasket/washer footprints, cross-sectional areas in inch–pound drawings
