Soroban
Half Reformed Japanese Abacus
from 2000 B.C.
It can be assumed due to the closed backside that this Soroban is an early variant of the 1 to 5 Soroban. The rods are made of metal and show some corrosion spots. Except for the middle place of this 15-digit Soroban, all places on the middle bar have a designation in Kanji characters. The workmanship of the frame with a precisely executed miter cut is indicative of a so-called Banshu Soroban.
