Olympus was named after Mount Olympus, the mythical home of the principal gods and goddesses of ancient Greece.
According to Japanese mythology, eight million gods and goddesses live in Takamagahara, or the Plain of High Heaven atop Mount Takachiho, the inspiration for the company’s original name.
In connection with this, "Olympus" was used as a trademark in those days. The name is also imbued with the passionate aspiration that Olympus' optics-based products will permeate the world and penetrate the world, just as the light of Takamagahara illuminates the world.
