落し物 It is a Japanese word that refers to lost or left behind objects in a public place. The word is composed of the kanjis 落し (otoshi), which means "fall" or "drop", and 物 (mono), which means "thing" or "object". The etymology of the word dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when samurai used to leave their swords in public places as a sign of respect and confidence.
