Commentので is similar to から, but softer. Usually presents a natural course of events, or express a reason gently to ask for permission or make an excuse. Therefore "given that" is an accurate translation in many instances, and one that fit better than all the ones currently in the dictionary

Current Entry上と下 [うえとした] /(?) ???/RH/
Headword 1上と下

Part-of-speechexp
English 1above and below
ReferenceSee below.
CommentWith some 250k hits on Google and a mass of images, there does not seem to be much doubt about meaning, however, I cannot find any reference to it elsewhere. Except, that it is often used in written text (as demonstrated on Google).

The reading used in the RH seems to me to be the most likely. Perhaps the entry could be promoted with the description. Novices would benefit from seeing certainty, when there is no reason for uncertainty, by such promotion.

The most recent text [which encouraged me to search, yet again] was by a Japanese writer who had included a photograph in his book. The photograph was showing a river and the reflected image of the trees above the water line which were clearly shown below the water line [the reason for the photograph was the almost exact image above and below].

He wrote: ".... どれもこれも上と下が逆になっています。"
