The analysis of pillar spans of Japanese national treasure buildings identifies several scale units other than well-known one of around 30cm, including longer range of 19-20cm, longer range of 24-25cm and longer range of 26-27cm. All of those are found in Nara era (eighth century) buildings. The values of 1.2 and √<2> are discovered to have been used in designing of ancient buildings as a multiplier and/or divisor.
