Arae Kōgaku (荒江光学, meaning Arae Optical) was a Japanese company based in Tokyo in the mid-1950s.[1] It was owned by Arae Taikichi (荒江泰吉), who made and announced a prototype 35mm SLR camera called Altair in early 1955. The company was certainly founded specifically to manufacture this camera, and left no trace after that date.
