The shaku is a traditional unit of length that originates from Japan. It is part of the shaku system, which also includes other units like the "sun" (1/10 of a shaku) and the "bu" (1/100 of a shaku). The shaku has a historical significance in various traditional Japanese measurements, particularly in construction, carpentry, and other crafts. As defined in the Meiji era, 1 shaku is approximately equal to 30.
