Abstract
The method of KIWARI, which has the capacity to include a group of precise measures from some proportional operations in a simple 1 to 10 module, depends on the process of production and also increases productivity. In DAIKU-KIKUJYAKUSYU, KIWARI's measure-system is divided into 1000 numerical parts, although numerical values actually chosen have a tendency to be concentrated several particular numbers rather than being distributed throughout the compass equally. This concentration on particular numbers points out the KIWARI measure-system's character as a module-system.
