Gōshi-gaisha Fukada Shōkai (合資会社深田商会, meaning Fukada Company or Fukada Trading Co.) was a Japanese camera distributor of the late 1930s and early 1940s. Its address was Minami-honmachi (南本町) 2–45 in Osaka.[1] It distributed various cameras called "Prince" and "Doris" and it was certainly the owner of these two brand names, at least before and during the war.
The company Mima Shōkai, a postwar distributor based in Osaka too, re-used the trademarks "Prince" and "Prince Camera Works" and the associated PCW logo from 1953 to 1956. It was perhaps a successor of Fukada.
Distributed cameras
Notes
- ↑ The address was Ōsaka-shi Sakai-suji Minami-honmachi 2–45 (大阪市界筋南本町二ノ四五) in 1937 and it had become Ōsaka-shi Higashi-ku Minami-honmachi 2–45 (大阪市東区南本町二ノ四五) in 1943 because of an administrative change. The company also used a postal box in 1939 and 1940: Ōsaka Chūō-kyoku Shishobako 204 (大阪中央局私書函204號). Source: advertisements reproduced in Kokusan kamera no rekishi, pp. 60, 80 and 91.
