A METROPOLITAN GARDEN IN A SNOWY DAY

There was a snow of 27cm in Tokyo last friday. I went to a metropolitan garden named Rikugien　in friday morning
It is located very near from our house.  It takes about 5 or 6 minutes by walking.

Canon ,Nikon and Olympus.

Canon INC was at first named Kwanon,Kwanon means the god of mercy.

The founder was a faithful buddist. so he named the company as Kwanon. But the pronunciation was not so easy . So the company changed its name Canon.

Nikon corporation means Nippon Optics,ie, Nippon Kogaku by Japanese.So the company changed  its name to Nikon.

Olympus corporation was named Takachiho Seisakusho corporation.Takachiho is a mythical area in Japan.  Just fits for Olympus in Greece. So the corporation changed its name as Olympus.
