This is a vintage Japanese wooden soroban (abacus) used during the Showa era. The back is engraved with “Ramune Manufacturer,” suggesting it was once used as an advertising item for a soda company or store. It carries an authentic patina with a warm wooden texture, reflecting its age and history. While showing wear and scratches from long-term use, there are no missing beads, and it remains functional. A rare collectible piece, perfect not only for abacus enthusiasts but also as interior décor or a display item for shops and collectors of Japanese antiques.
