A "ken" is a traditional unit of measurement that is commonly used in parts of East Asia. Specifically, in Japan, one ken is typically equivalent to about 1.82 meters (approximately 6 feet). It is often used in the context of measuring the dimensions of buildings, particularly in the context of traditional Japanese architecture, where rooms are often designed based on the number of kens.
