看板 is a Japanese word that means "signboard" or "advertising board". The word is composed of the kanji 看 (kan) which means "to watch" or "to observe" and 板 (ban) which means "board" or "plank". The origin of the word dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when shops began using wooden boards with their names and information to attract customers.
