（width260、depth225、height340 mm) This statue with Soroban is a seated figure made of camphor wood. I can remember how happy I was when I found this graceful one at a curio market. I imagine that a merchant made this one for the success of his business. |

This statue belonged to Mr. Yoshio Sakai from Kobe city, but he presented it to Ono city. This was made by Gyoun in 1719. Both the age and the maker of this statue are identified, which is very rare. A merchant in the Edo era might have decorated a guest room with this statue. |

Tibetan Statue （width79、depth26、height95 mm) It appears that this Tibetan statue has a Soroban. It is not obvious when and where the statue was made or why it has Soroban in its hands. Can you imagine the answer? |
