Origin of Canon

Canon’s company name comes from Kannon Bodhisattva.

Canon’s predecessor company was named Seiki Optical Laboratory.

This company specialized in precision instrument manufacturing.

Then, they made cameras.

The prototype of the first camera was named KWANON.

This was named after the Bodhisattva Guanyin.

The company name was changed as part of a global brand strategy.

They decided on CANON, which is close in sound to KANNON, meaning “scripture” or “standard” in English.

It is quite interesting to find out the origin of the name.

Someday I would like to become someone who can look up the origin of the name.

Not in a bad way, but in a good way.
