尺貫法

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 尺貫法 (しゃっかんほう) is Japan's traditional measurement system using units such as shaku and kan. The examples place it as a measurement basis and an item of comparison.
• Basic usage: 尺貫法による面積 identifies the system used for the land area; 尺貫法と現在の単位 compares that older system with modern units.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Basis for land measurement and object of comparison
  • による specifies the basis on which the area was recorded, while と coordinates two systems. The headword denotes the system as a whole, not one individual unit.
