Rock paper scissors originated in China as a three symbol hand game with essentially the same rules, although the symbols have changed over the years, from frog, slug, snake, to fox, hunter, chief, etc.
From China, it was imported to Japan as the game Janken, before reaching France and America in the early 1900's.
