|  A carpenter's 
      square. It has a long side, about 49cm, and a short side about 24cm, and 
      looks like an L shaped ruler. Also sashigane wι. It is used to take 
      measurements, make right angles, and mark with India ink on a marking string *sumikake n|. The carpenter's square is made of steel or brass and 
      originally it was graduated in the shaku Ϊ, sun ‘ and ri 
       system of measurement. Today the metric system is used. Gradations on 
      the frontside of old kanejaku were divided into 1.5 shaku 
      to 1.6 shaku on the long side, and 7.58 sun  on the short 
      side. The gradations made on the back urame  Ϊ outer edges are the 
      square roots of those on the front side. These gradations are called *uragane 
       ι or urajaku  Ϊ. The gradations on the inside back of the arms are 
      the same as on the front. They are called sashigane, kane 
      Θ or magarikane Θι. The back gradations were devised to handle the 
      corners of the roof around the eaves.  |
