八百屋 is a Japanese word that refers to a vegetable and fruit shop. The word is composed of three kanji: 八 (hachi) meaning "eight", 百 (hyaku) meaning "hundred" and 屋 (ya) meaning "shop". The origin of the word dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when stores selling vegetables and fruits were called "ya" and the number "800" was used to indicate a large quantity of products.
