Topic: Koku


In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  Koku - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The koku was originally defined as quantity of rice, historically defined as enough rice to feed one person for one year (one masu is enough rice to feed a person for one day).
During the Edo period of Japanese history, each han (fiefdom) had an assessment of its wealth, and the koku was the unit of measurement.
In the Meiji period (1868-1912), Japanese units such as the koku were abolished and the metric system was installed.

 koku
A koku of rice was considered to be the amount needed to feed one man for one year.
To be a daimyo, a samurai needed an annual income of 10,000 or more koku; an income between 100 and 9,500 koku made one a hatamoto, and an income of less than 100 koku made one a go-kenin.
For example, according to the rules of 1649, a hatamoto with an income of 300 koku per year would have to supply one go-kenin samurai, one spearman, one armor-bearer, one groom, one sandal-bearer, one hasamibako-bearer, one baggage carrier, and himself.

12.  The applicant’s brother, Hüseyin Koku, was born in the town of Elbistan in south-east Turkey, in 1958.
Fatma Koku went immediately to the police station to complain about this telephone call, but the police were not interested and even made fun of her.
He finally submitted that, in case the Court was not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Hüseyin Koku had been killed in custody, there was sufficient evidence to prove on the balance of probabilities – which he argued was the appropriate test in cases of deaths in custody – to prove his allegation.
