Saka

Saka is a traditional Japanese unit of length, historically used to measure the depth or height of objects such as curtains, swords, or architectural features. It equals approximately 1.9 centimeters or about 0.75 inches. Although not commonly used today, the term remains relevant in historical and cultural contexts, especially in designing or understanding traditional Japanese arts and crafts. Saka provides a precise, standardized way to describe small measurements that are vital in maintaining the aesthetic and technical accuracy of Japanese craftsmanship.
