Honjō Shōkai (本庄商会) was a Japanese distributor founded in 1916 by Honjō Kenzaburō (本庄憲三郎). It was based in Kōbe.[1] It distributed the wartime Waltax together with Nihon Shōkai.[2] The two companies also appear as authorized dealers on a wartime advertisement for the Mamiya Six II and III and some Walz accessories.[3]
The company became Honjō K.K. (本庄株式会社, translated as "Honjo & Co.") in 1960 and it still exists as a wholesaler of photographic products.
