the Japanese measureing system. Ive been looking all over but have not come up with anything at all.

If possible, finding "shaku" and "sun" would work as well.

Im also looking for any historical websites on the development and history of the ken measureing system, if any one knows of something off hand :-)

Thanks yall

shaku - 尺 (about 30.3cm)

sun - 寸 (about 3.03cm)
