Previously, the abacus had square corners, but it has been reborn having a gentler design featuring rounded corners so that children can use it without worrying about damaging something with the item. The design does not use screws, nails, or adhesive, making it a safe product for younger children. By having a variety of colors that children like, the options have expanded. Additionally, the number of parts has been reduced by 40%, making manufacturing simpler and more efficient.

Asahi Printing Co., Ltd. is a printing company founded in 1953 targeting abacus schools in Japan. In addition to printed materials, the company also sells abacus education-related items. In recent years, it has also been developing computer software as well as mobile applications related to abacus education and provide consulting services for abacus school management along with comprehensive support for them. Conventionally, many of the abacuses sold in Japan are made by specialized skilled craftsmen. However, since April in 2024, the company has entered the field of abacus manufacturing in earnest.
