Column 1 Origin of the Company Name

Olympus was founded in 1919 as Takachiho Seisakusho. Japanese mythology speaks of Takamagahara, the peak of Mt. Takachiho where eight million gods and goddesses live. And in Greek mythology Mt. Olympus is spoken of as the mountain where twelve gods and goddesses live. Thus the trademark Olympus was selected because of the similarity with its Japanese counterpart, Mt. Takachiho.
