Konica was the oldest Japanese camera company until it stopped its camera activity in 2006.
Contents
History
The company was founded in 1873 as Konishi-ya and soon renamed Konishi Honten (小西本店) in 1876. The manufacturing branch was Rokuoh-sha (六桜社), which made the Cherry in 1903, the first Japanese camera to have a brand name. The company founded the Konishi College of Photography in Tokyo in 1923.
Konishi Honten became Konishiroku Honten (小西六本店) in 1921, then K.K. Konishiroku (株式会社小西六) in 1936, but the cameras were still made by Rokuoh-sha. The companies were merged in 1943 into Konishiroku Shashin Kōgyō K.K. (小西六写真工業株式会社), translated as Konishiroku Photo Industry Co., Ltd. It was based in Tokyo, Yodobashi in 1943.[1]
The name Konica was originally that of a 35mm rangefinder model presented in 1947. Similarly to "Leica", "Yashica" and many others, the name "Konica" was constructed by abbreviating the name of the manufacturer and attaching "ca" (for "camera") as a suffix.[2] The company as a whole changed its name to Konica Corporation only in 1987, although its US branch did so earlier.
Konica merged with Minolta in 2003 and became Konica Minolta, which would stop the production of cameras in 2006.

Notes
- ↑ Its address in 1943 was Tōkyō-to Yodobashi-ku Jū-ni-sha 320 (東京都淀橋区十二社320). Source: "Kokusan shashinki no genjōchōsa" ("Inquiry into Japanese cameras"), listing the Japanese camera production as of April 1943.
- ↑ The structure of the name "Konishiroku" (小西六) is [[Ko] [nishi]] [roku] ([[小] [西]] [六]): nishi within it (meaning "west") is indivisible. (Ni is no more meaningful an abbreviation of nishi than "we" is of "west".) Thus the new name does not "make sense".
