Asanuma Shōkai

Asanuma Shōkai (浅沼商会) is a Japanese distributor. It distributed the various Minolta models of the Molta, later Chiyoda Kōgaku company. It apparently had the exclusivity of these cameras from at least as early as 1936 to the second world war. After the war it still appears as an authorized dealer of the Minolta cameras, until at least as late as 1952, often together with Misuzu Shōkai.
