SOROBAN
Soroban (算盤) is a tangible calculating tool developed in Japan, featuring diamond-shaped beads for calculations.
The Soroban pattern, literally inspired by these diamond-shaped abacus beads, is one of the traditional Japanese good fortune patterns known as Kissho Monyo.
Associated with wealth and success, the Soroban, familiar to Japanese merchants, embodies wishes for business prosperity.
The Soroban pattern, incorporating this familiar tool into its design, gained popularity among the townspeople of Edo (present-day Tokyo) about 420 years ago as a stylish and chic motif.
