 * Trivia:
-** A [[wikipedia:picul|picul]] (石, or 担) is an ancient unit of weight in Asia.  The actual weight may be a bit off, but roughly it's defined by "as much as a man can carry on a shoulder-pole", at around 50 to 60 kilograms.
+** A [[wikipedia:koku|koku]] (石) is a traditional Japanese unit of volume equal to approximately 180 L (48 U.S. gal.), which volume of rice is approximately 150 kg (330 lb). The yaku is a reference to the [[wikipedia:Kaga Domain|Kaga Domain]], which had the largest [[wikipedia:kokudaka|kokudaka]], or assessed value, in feudal Japan: one million koku.
