Eikōdō (栄光堂) was a Japanese camera distributor and perhaps maker. It was active as early as 1936. Until the war, it used the name Eikōdō Honten (榮光堂本店 in old writing) distributed various folders, like the Collex, National and Ugein, as well as an enlarger called Asia DO and filters called Gelmer.[1]
After the war, it seems that the company was reformed from 1951 to 1953 as Maki Shōji (槇商事) and called Eikōdō (栄光堂) again in 1953 and 1954, selling the Ruvinal folder (a continuation of the wartime Ugein) and the Ruvinal Flex TLR.[2]
