Soroban houmei-jyuku [Japanese Abacus School. Since 1948]
We have taught abacus to nearly 7000 students over 62 years in
Yokohama city located near the Tokyo. What's abacus? What's good
about learning abacus?
To get better information on "abacus", please watch this video
first.

Abacus is a Japanese traditional calculator, with which you can
calculate addition,subtraction, multiplication and division
quickly.
There are two good things through learning abacus.
One is to enable you to do a quick mental calculation and the
other is to enhance braindevelopment.

As you see in the video, you can do a quick mental calculation
after the practicing abacus because you learn "Abacus- based
mental calculation" at the same time.
It's a method that you use imaginary abacus in your mind and
calculate.
The person in the video is using this skill.
In other words, if you don't learn abacus you'll never learn this
either.
You actually touch imaginary abacus in your mind and calculate
just like you have a real abacus in your hands. We call this
technique "Anzan(mental calculation in Japanese)"
Let me talk about human brain a little. It's said that in the
human brain the left and right sides have different functions.
It's believed that the right hemisphere is used as recognizing
images, graphics, music and facial expressions. It mainly controls
total visual information and intuitive feelings.
On the other hand, the left hemisphere controls logical thinking,
language, conversation,concept, calculation, recognizing sounds.
According to the interpretation above, you're using your left
hemisphere to do the calculation.
However we use right hemisphere to learn "Abacus-based mental
calculation" in our school.
We have imaginary abacus beads in our mind and move them to
calculate just like we use a real abacus.
We image an abacus in our back of the right hemisphere.
It's easier for younger children to have this image.
The more you learn "Abacus-based mental calculation" the more you
use your right hemisphere and that's how it's good for the brain
development.
Isn' t it amazing that you can use your right hemisphere for the
calculation ONLY when you learn Anzan-Abacus-Based mental
calculation?
The best age to start abacus is under ten years old. Adults
cannot learn as well as children.
Thus, learning abacus help your brain develop and train your
calculation ability and concentration.
It's not easy and it all depends on individual effort to master
it.
We think in Japan you need at least 3 years to reach such level as
to be able to use the mental calculation skill in your actual
life. Anyone can get the skill as long as they do the best.
Our goal is to increase the number of people who use this skill
all over the world.

I have studied abacus 3 times in a week from7 to 15 years old.
It's been 15 years since I quit learning it but still I have skill
of the mental calculation as you see in the movie below.
When I was 18, I won the championship of the mental calculation in

Our goal is support children to have a lifelong skill and have a
self- confidence.
