====Japanese variation<span class="anchor" id="JIS B}"></span><span class="anchor" id="Japanese B-series variant"></span>==== The Japanese standard [[Japanese Industrial Standards|JIS P 0138]] defines two main series of paper sizes. The JIS A-series is identical to the [[#ISO A|ISO A-series]] except that it has slightly different tolerances. The area of B-series paper is 1.5 times that of the corresponding A-paper (instead of the factor <math>\sqrt{2} = 1.414...</math> for the [[#ISO B|ISO B-series]]), so the length ratio is approximately 1.22 times the length of the corresponding A-series paper. The aspect ratio of the paper is the same as for the A-series paper. Both A- and B-series paper are widely available in Japan, [[Taiwan]] and China, and most photocopiers are loaded with at least A4 and either one of A3, B4, and B5 paper. [[Cascading Style Sheets]] (CSS) only supports the most popular of the Japanese sizes, ''JIS-B4'' and ''JIS-B5''.<ref name="mozilla.org"/> {| class="wikitable" |+ JIS B series paper sizes (with rounded inch values) !

Another two with an aspect ratio approximating [[16:9]] are 20% narrower variants of A6 and B6, respectively, the latter resulting from cutting JIS B1 into {{resx|4|10}} sheets (thus "B40"). There are also a number of traditional paper sizes, which are now used mostly by printers. The most common of these old series is the {{transliteration|ja|[[#K|Shiroku-ban]]}} and the {{transliteration|ja|Kiku}} paper sizes. {| class="wikitable" |+ Other Japanese paper sizes (with rounded inch values){{qn|date=January 2020}} !
