brand introduction

Canon is an old camera manufacturer in Japan. At the beginning of the 20th century, Japan's camera industry was very backward. At that time, most people used foreign products. To this end, in order to make domestic cameras, several Japanese young people began to imitate German high-end cameras, and successfully imitated German Leica cameras in a small factory in Tokyo in 1934, and also developed Japan's first 35mm focal plane shutter camera KWANON, which is the Roman word for Japanese Guanyin.

The symbol of the early Canon is also the image of avalokitesvara, which means to produce the best camera in the world, allowing users to use the camera like avalokitesvara. It was not until 1935 that KWANON was changed to CANON, which took the meaning of English standards and guidelines. Because KW is difficult to pronounce, it is changed to a pronunciation similar to C/K. In Japanese, the pronunciation of the CAN's card related to this card comes from Kwa of Kwa-yin. With the change of the name, the logo has been changed three times.
