What is a Cloth Span?

A span represented 9 inches (22.86 cm), the distance between thumb and little finger when spread. Medieval cloth merchants used this measurement, with 2 spans making 1 cubit. The term survives in 'spanner' tools adjusting span-width nuts.

What is a Ken?

The Ken is a traditional Japanese unit of length, equal to six Japanese feet (shaku). Its exact length has varied slightly over time and by region, but it's historically significant in architecture and land measurement in Japan.
