Etymology

[edit]

The company name originates from the Chinese poem Spring View (春望 Chinese: Chūn Wàng, Japanese: Shumbō) by Du Fu. Included is the phrase, "The country has collapsed, but there are still mountains and rivers." (Chinese:「國破山河在」 Gúo pò shān hé zài) In Japanese:「国破れて山河在り」, Kuni yaburete sanga ari). The words 山河在り mean that the mountains and rivers still exist.[1]
