3.3 Square Meters
Two-Mat Area, Tsubo
The amount of dirt you need to get some peace is 3.3 square meters. This is roughly the area of two tatami mats, so some might call it a two-mat area. Not only is it the perfect amount of space for finding peace, but it's also a pretty common measurement in Japan (called a tsubo), so it's worth getting familiar with.

An area of 3.3 square meters also happens to be just the right size for two bodies (つぼ)! Not in, like, a creepy way, mind you — two bodies in the sense of you and a friend snuggling up and finding peace in this two-mat area together.
Alternatively, you can remember this word with 壺, which has the same reading. Just imagine putting a big, fancy 壺 in your 3.3 square meter area. It's the perfect way to utilize the space.
