Other comments: Japanese has two sets of numeral systems, the first set is called Sino-Japanese numerals ( on the first column), which is used for counting things quickly without using a numeral classifiers,  the second set is native Japanese numerals, the native numerals up to 10 are used very often, especially by children to count things, but the forms over 10 are archaic, and few Japanese ever know them with the exception of the form for 20 ( and sometimes 30, 40, 50 etc.) which is used for refereeing to someone's age.
