How many ryō in a koku? I am reading a document right now that stipulates that at a certain point in the Edo period, the Morioka han was producing roughly 500,000 ryō per year (Gross Han Product). How many koku was the han worth? How are these concepts related? Thanks to anyone who can help with this. (and if there is a direct relationship, it should be added to the article, ne?)

 * I would imagine it would depend on which period you're talking about. The value of the ryō gradually declined, thus, the value of a koku in ryō would, presumably, have gradually increased.  I suspect there probably was a standard rate at any given time, though Nik42 04:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Monme to Ryo?
If 60 monme (匁) are equal to 1 ryo (両), why does 1 ryo have the value 4 bu (分) if 1 monme consists of 10 bu? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.80.127.134 (talk) 00:07, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Ryō (currency unit) → Ryō – Ryō has been a redirect to this article since 2007, indicating that the currency unit is the primary topic. Per WP:PRECISION, titles should be precise enough to unambiguously define the topical scope of the article, but no more precise than that; “(currency unit)” is unnecessarily precise, which means Ryō is a better title.

 * Oppose "Ryō" should redirect to Ryo, where "Ryo", "Ryō", "Ryou", "Ryoh" are all listed. In particular, this is a common Japanese name, so the name article would be likely. -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 05:51, 18 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. The only other "article" listed at the DAB page named Ryo, i.e. Ryō (given name) (which should be titled Ryo (given name) BTW) mentioned by 65.94.169.222 is a two-sentence DICDEF followed by a list of partial title matches.  The currency is the primary encyclopedic topic of Ryō or Ryo.  —  AjaxSmack   11:03, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Support. If someone's going to go to all the trouble of typing that character, let them go straight to the article they want. A hatnote will be required, of course. Red Slash 19:29, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
