K.K. Kashimura Yōkō (㈱樫村洋行) was a Japanese distributor. In 1941, it established a sales agreement with Mamiya for the distribution of the Mamiya Six.[1] (The Mamiya Six appears on some advertisements by Kashimura dated 1954.[2])
It was the distributor of the Kanko products in 1942.[3]
In 1943, the company established a new plant together with Fujimoto Seisakusho and Tomioka Kōgaku in the Manchurian city of Dalian, under the name Kantō Kōgaku Kōgyō K.K. (関東光学工業㈱).[4]
Kashimura Yōkō was perhaps reestablished in 1947.[5] Its address in 1952 and 1953 was Chūō-ku Nihonbashi Honchō 4–11 (中央区日本橋本町4–11) in Tokyo, and it was Chiyoda-ku Kanda-Kaji-chō 1–3 (東京都千代田区神田鍛冶町1–3) in 1954.[6] It was the distributor of the Ofuna cameras from 1953 to 1956–7, and it ordered the coupled-rangefinder Ofuna Six for export.[7]
The company was also distributing the Luck and the Lucky enlarger made by Fujimoto in 1952; it was still mentioned as authorized dealer in Kantō (Eastern Japan) for the Lucky enlargers in 1954–5.[8]
The company became K.K. Kashimura (㈱樫村) at an unknown date and was renamed Kaga Hightech Co., Ltd. (加賀ハイテック㈱) on October 1st, 2006.[9]
