Asanuma Shashinki-ten (浅沼写真機店) was a Japanese distributor in the late 1920s and 1930s, based in the Marunouchi Building in Tokyo.[1] In the mid-1930s, the company advertised Leica cameras.[2] In the second half of the 1930s, it was distributing photographic products under the Leiket brand,[3][4] sometimes displaying KAPPA markings.[3] It seems that this company was not related to Asanuma Shōkai, but this is not known for sure.[5]

Notes
- ↑ Advertisements in Asahi Camera September 1929 (p.A15) and February 1930 (p.A15); advertisement in Shashin Salon January 1934; advertisement in Asahi Camera July 1936, p.A31; advertisement on p.8 of Nihon Shashin Kōgyō Tsūshin, December 15, 1939, reproduced on p.42 of Hyaku-gō goto jūkai no kiroku.

- ↑ The February 1930 issue of Asahi Camera contains both an advertisement by Asanuma Shōkai on p.A3 and an advertisement by Asanuma Shashinki-ten on p.A15. Asanuma is a Japanese family name, and the existence of two different Asanuma companies is not implausible.
- ↑ The new products column of Asahi Camera February 1936, p.330, features a Japanese copy of the Zeiss 436/5 prism finder, sold at ¥18. The document does not mention a company name, but this was perhaps another product by Asanuma Shashinki-ten.
