Kashiwa

Kashiwa Seikō (柏精工, meaning Kashiwa Precision Industries), was a Japanese company, which announced the Blondy subminiature camera around 1949. It is not known for sure if the camera was commercially sold or not. It seems that the company used the name "Kashiwa Seiko Co." for the camera markings.
