Silver Ratio

Nov 21, 2015 14:00
I think you have heard the word "golden ratio."

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.

However, Japanese tend to prefer the silver ratio (1:√2) rather than the golden ratio.

In Japan, the silver ratio is used in many things from ancient buildings to familiar notes.

Most popular anime characters in Japan, such as Doraemon or Totoro, are also have the silver ratio.

Besides, there is also the bronze ratio (around 1:2.303), but ratio this seems to be rarely used.
白銀比

黄金比という言葉を聞いたことがあると思います。

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。

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。

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。

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。

青銅比(約1:2.303)という比もありますが、こちらはあまり使われている事例が多くないようです。

Good work on the entry! I know about the golden and silver ratios, but I didn't know about the Japanese's apparent affinity to the silver ratio.
