Land surveying pole - Kenchizao

Japanese: 検地竿 - けんちざお
Land surveying pole - Kenchizao
A surveying tool used during land surveys. Also called a kenzao (long pole). In the Taiko land survey, poles measuring 6 shaku 3 sun to 1 ken were used. The Edo Shogunate defined 6 shaku as 1 ken, but in reality, poles measuring 6 shaku 1 bu were used, with sand marks added to both ends in anticipation of wear. Sometimes a kudana rope was used instead of a pole.

検地の際に使用された測量用具。間竿(けんざお)ともいう。太閤検地では6尺3寸〜1間の竿が用いられた。江戸幕府は6尺を1間としたが,実際には竿の両端が摩耗することを見込んでつけられた砂摺(すなず)りを加えた6尺1分の竿が使用された。竿の代わりに管縄(くだなわ)を使うこともあった。
