The Freude Six (フロイドシックス) is a Japanese 6×6 camera, about which almost nothing is known. It is only mentioned in the official list of set prices dated November 1941, where it is attributed to Kōsoku-sha.[1] In the document, it is placed among a host of 4.5×6cm cameras, and the 6×6 format is only guessed from the name.
