Although Japan’s official postcard size appears to be A6, it is actually 100×148 mm, 5 millimeters narrower
than A6.
A.1.2. Japanese envelope sizes
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) envelope sizes are the official interna-
tional metric envelope sizes; however, Japan uses also JIS and metricated traditional envelope
sizes. Sizes identified as nonstandard do not conform to Universal Postal Union requirements
for correspondence envelopes.

ISO envelope sizes
The ISO C-series envelope sizes, and possibly B-series envelope sizes, are available in Japan.
C-series envelopes can hold the corresponding A-series paper, while B-series envelopes can
hold either the corresponding A-series paper or the corresponding C-series envelope. The ISO
envelope sizes commonly for Japan are listed in
table A.4
, with the corresponding paper they
are intended for, and the folding required.
JIS and traditional envelope sizes
The JIS classifies envelopes into three categories based on the general shape of the envelope,
and where the flap is located:
You: these envelopes are of the ‘commercial’ type, rectangular, and correspond largely to
Western envelope sizes, and also have the flap on the long dimension (‘Open Side’) in
‘commercial’ or ‘square’ style. ‘You-kei’ means Western-style.
Chou: these are also ‘commercial’ type envelopes, with the same shape as the corresponding
‘You’ type, but with the flap on the short dimension (‘Open End’) in ‘wallet’ style.
‘Chou-kei’ means long-style.
Kaku: these envelopes are more square in appearance and are made for special use, and
correspond to ‘announcement’ envelopes. The flap is on the long side, in the ‘square’
style. They generally do not fall under the ordinary envelope postage rates. ‘Kaku-kei’
means square-style.
The main JIS and traditional envelope sizes and the corresponding paper and its required
folding are listed in
table A.5
.

the abbreviation of DIN Lang (Deutsche Industrie Norm, long), is now identified as “Dimension Lengthwise”

Because two different sizes are called You 0, the JIS You 0 is normally called Furusu 10; Furusu (‘fools’)
derives from ‘foolscap’; Kyabine is a metricated traditional Japanese size.

Two slightly different sizes are sold as You 1; the smaller size (173 mm×118 mm) is the paper-industry

Window variants
There are a large number of window subtypes existing within the framework explained in the
previous subsection. The most common window sizes and locations are listed in
table A.6
.
A.2. Provided lco files
In scrlttr2 support is provided for Japanese envelope and window sizes through a number of
lco
files which customize the foldmarks required for different envelope sizes and subvariants
with different window positions and sizes.
The provided lco files together with the envelope types for which they provide support
are listed at
table A.7
. See
table A.4
for the full list of Japanese envelopes and the paper
they take, and
table A.6
for the common window sizes and locations. The rightmost column
indicates which lco file provides the support.

Window size is given in width by height, location as offset from left (l) or right (r), followed by offset from
bottom (b) or top (t). All Values in millimeters.
The tolerances for location is about 2 mm, so it is possible to accommodate all the envelope
and window variants of
table A.6
with just a small number of lco files. The difference between
Chou/You 3 and Chou/You 4 is determined by paper size.
A.3. Examples of Japanese letter usage
Assume you want to write a letter on A4 size paper and will post it in a Japanese envelope. If
the envelope has no window, then it is enough to determine whether the envelope dimensions
match a European one — the standard DIN.lco style may suffice for many such cases.
If you wish to use a windowed envelope, please note that owing to the large variety, not all
existing subvariants are currently supported. If you should note that you particular windowed
envelope has its window dimensions and positions significantly (more than approximately
2 mm) different from any of the supported subvariants, please contact the author of KOMA-
Script to obtain support as soon as possible, and in the meanwhile create a customized lco file
for your own use, using one of the existing ones as a template and reading the KOMA-Script
documentation attentively.
If your window envelope subvariant is supported, this is how you would go about using
it: simply select the required lco file and activate the horizontal and vertical foldmarks as
required. Another, independent, mark is the punching mark which divides a sheet in two
horizontally for easy punching and filing.
A.3.1. Example 1:
Your favourite envelope happens to be a You 3 with window subvariant Mutoh 3, left over from
when the company had its previous name, and you do not wish them to go to waste. Thus,
you write your letter with the following starting code placed before the letter environment:
\LoadLetterOption{NipponLL}\setkomavar{myref}{NipponLL}
Appendix A: Japanese Letter Support for scrlttr2
499
\begin{letter}{Martina Muster\\Address}
...
\end{letter}
A.3.2. Example 2:
You originally designed your letter for a You 3 envelope, but suddenly you get handed a
used electrical company envelope with cute manga characters on it which you simply cannot
pass up. Surprisingly, you find it conforms fairly closely to the Chou 4 size and C window
subvariant, such that you realize you can alter the following in your document preamble:
\LoadLetterOption{NipponEL}\setkomavar{myref}{NipponEL}
\begin{letter}{Martina Muster\\Address}
...
\end{letter}
Now, scrlttr2 automatically reformats the letter for you to fit the required envelope.
