Konica

See also Konica Minolta.

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. The name "Konica" was originally the name of a 35mm rangefinder model presented in 1947. The company changed its name to Konica Corporation only in 1987. Konica was merged (=married ;-) ) with Minolta in 2003 and became Konica Minolta, that would stop the production of cameras in 2006.
