How it works
- Converted estimate = Amount × Conversion factor
- Shō (升) = 2401/1331 L; Gō (合) = Shō (升)/10; To (斗) = 10 × Shō (升)
Assumptions and limitations
Volume only: the 1951 standardized shō is 2401/1331 L. Gō is one tenth and to is ten shō. Rice weight depends on density and is not inferred.
