Janome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Janome (蛇の目ミシン工業 Janome Mishin Kōgyō?, Janome Sewing Machine Co., Ltd.) is a Japanese company that is one of the leading manufacturers of sewing machines worldwide.
The name "Janome" (蛇の目) literally means "snake's eye". At the time of company establishment (1935), the round bobbin system was the more advanced technology replacing the traditional long shuttle type. As the new round bobbin looks like a snake's eye, Janome was chosen as the company's name.
Janome is also a name for traditional Japanese bull's-eye umbrella design.
