On Mazda
When I first heard of this name, I immediately recalled the Persian god, Ahura Mazda. This is the chief deity of Zoroastrianism, Persian religion. This god is the source of light, and the embodiment of good. He is challenged by Angra Mainyu. In certain ways, their interactions cause the phenomena in the world. This is not the same as Jehovah (the Lord) and Satan who are not of equal power. These two gods are also of equal powers, so they interact in a very complex way.
Zoroastrianism is related to Hong Kong in a strange way. One of the famous fiction has used it as a basis for the religious background. The religion called "Ming" (brightness) has its chief base in Persia. They have sent envoys to China to minimize the confusion caused by the death of the chief Chinese leader.
The company's name, "Mazda," derives from Ahura Mazda, a god of the earliest civilizations in West Asia. We have interpreted Ahura Mazda, the god of wisdom, intelligence and harmony, as the symbol of the origin of both Eastern and Western civilizations, and also as a symbol of automobile culture. It incorporates a desire to achieve world peace and the development of the automobile manufacturing industry. It also derives from the name of our founder, Jujiro Matsuda.
