Momme

What is a momme?

The momme (mom) equals 3.75 grams.

Origin of the momme

A traditional Japanese mass unit (Japanese 'monme').

Where it is used

Pearls, and as the standard weight grade for silk fabric.

When and where it was developed

Part of the traditional Japanese shakkanho system.

Femtogram to Momme conversion formula

Note: this conversion uses a generally accepted modern value. Historical and regional definitions of this unit varied across times and places.

The relationship between femtograms and mommes:
