Silver Ratio
I think you have heard the word “golden ratio.”
白銀比
This ratio,which is represented by about 1:1.618, is the most stable and beautiful ratio, and it is present everywhere in the world.
黄金比という言葉を聞いたことがあると思います。
However, Japanese tend to prefer the silver ratio (1:√2) rather than the golden ratio.
約1:1.618で表される黄金比は最も安定して最も美しいとされる比で、自然界のいたるところに存在します。
In Japan, the silver ratio is used in many things from ancient buildings to familiar notes.
しかし日本人は、黄金比よりも白銀比（1 : √2 ）のほうを好む傾向にあるようです。
Most popular anime characters in Japan, such as Doraemon or Totoro, are also have the silver ratio.
日本では、古来の建築物から身近なノートまで、あらゆるものにこの白銀比が使われています。
Besides, there is also the bronze ratio (around 1:2.303), but ratio this seems to be rarely used.
ドラえもんやトトロなど、多くの日本の人気キャラクターも白銀比でできています。
