Explanation and Etymology - (万) ban

The Japanese word "万" (man) is a numeral that means "ten thousand". Its etymology dates back to the Chinese ideogram "萬", which also means "ten thousand". The origin of this ideogram is uncertain, but it is believed to have been derived from a stylized drawing of a coiled snake, which was a symbol of good luck in ancient Chinese culture. The word "man" is often used in Japanese idiomatic expressions, such as "man'en" (10,000 yen), "man-nin" (10,000 people), and "man-kai" (10,000 times). Additionally, the number 10,000 is considered an auspicious number in Japanese culture, symbolizing fullness and abundance.
