Tsubo (坪)

Définition

Le tsubo (坪) est une unité japonaise de superficie égale à la surface de deux tatamis, soit environ 3,306 m² (35,58 pi²), équivalent au pyeong (평) coréen.

Explication

Defined as one ken squared (roughly 1.818 m × 1.818 m), the tsubo is still widely used in Japanese real estate listings even though metric is the legal standard. An average Japanese apartment of 70 m² is approximately 21 tsubo. The identical Korean pyeong shares the same origin and value; apartment sizes in South Korea are routinely quoted in pyeong alongside square meters.
