	Shaku - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The shaku (尺) is an archaic Japanese unit of length, approximately equal to the foot.
		Since 1891, the shaku has been defined to equal 10/33 meter (approximately 30.3 cm, or 11.93 inches), or 3.3 shaku to the meter.
		When a distinction needed to be made between the two shaku, the cloth unit was referred to as kujirajaku (whale shaku, as the rulers for measuring cloth were made from whale whisker) and the other shaku was referred to as kanejaku (metal shaku).

	The Film Asylum Review - Sky High (Yumiko Shaku, Takao Osawa)
		The DVD special features are a pretty average affair with the high point being an interview segment with Yukimo Shaku about her role as Mina.
		It’s a pretty informal effort with a smattering of other cast members thrown in, but despite its ‘Interviews with the cast’ heading, it really is nothing more than an insight into the motivation of the films female lead.
		One interesting thing that comes out of this segment however is just how hardworking and professional Shaku is as other cast members having nothing but praise for the humbled actress.

		Hakama lengths are based on the Kujira-shaku system (for more information on the Shaku/Sun system, please refer to the Information Page by that name.) Therefore, lengths such as 25, 26 actually stand for 2 shaku 5 sun, and 2 shaku, 6 sun, and so forth.
		For example, a 91 cm waist to finish length measurement, divided by 37.9 equals 2.4, meaning 2 shaku, 4 sun, which is the same as a 24 hakama.
		For the basic measurement, the most reliable way is to measure directly from a known good hakama.

		I do not write music for relaxation, or for dancing, but for the very pleasure of listening." Swami Anand Omkar achieves just that on Shaku.
		Through the musical presentation of six compositions, Omkar takes us through the existence of Shaku, a being,or figure created from imagination into which life has been imbued.
		Yet,Omkar offers a singularly different expression of music,and Shaku is well worth a listen for its musical representation of Man’s life.

		The bamboo is hollowed, the holes bored, the instrument divided into two parts for easy storage and transport, and the inside lacquered.
		The word "shakuhachi"; comes from the standard size of the instrument, which is one shaku and eight (hachi) sun long (about 54 centimeters), but shakuhachi also come in other sizes, each of which is tuned to a different key.
		Performers use various techniques, including half-holing, cross-holing, glissandos, flutter tonguing, and chin and neck movements, to produce a wide range of pitches and timbres.
