1 tsubo = 3.3 square meters

Relationship between tsubo and square meter
One tsubo is about 3.30578 square meters and one square meter is about 0.3025 tsubo. In reality, the fraction continues endlessly, but ... this "tsubo" is often written as 3.3 square meters
  Comments:
Comments at 一寸 and 坪当たり. I think other numbers here listed as "approx." should also be rounded, but I'll stick to [1] at the moment, which is fairly well supported in mainstream literature (in English and Japanese).

Major Japanese real estate website:
https://www.homes.co.jp/cont/living/living_00088/
1坪は約3.30578平方メートル、1平方メートルは約0.3025坪です。
but:
この「坪」については3.3平方メートルと書かれている場合も多いのですが...

And note, the error between 3.31 and 3.30578 is nearly as large as 3.30 and 3.30578.

まえつぼ is correctly written as 前壺, so this sense is correctly written as 壺.  so if anything, this belongs as a sense of 壺 with 坪 as [iK].  however, this sense of 壺 doesn't seem to appear in any kokugo and it's not clear that it's common enough to be worth recording, so i would probably pass on it

I have a problem with this edit. Only that quoted source has 坪/つぼ with that meaning. It doesn't have that meaning in any kokugo or kanwa that I have checked. Also, the kokugos have 7 or 8 senses for 坪/つぼ which we don't because (a) no-one has proposed them, and (b) they're fairly rare. If we were to add this sense, I'd want to see the ones in the kokugos put in ahead of it. I've just approved 前つぼ without 坪 because it couldn't really be verified. I'll wait a short while, but I think this sense can't go in solo and certainly without better support.
