Matsuzaki Shashinki-ten (松崎写真機店) was a Japanese distributor based in Osaka.[1] It was already active in 1937, and distributed accessories under the Tsubasa brand in the late 1930s and 1940s. It is not known if there is a relationship with Kigawa, which used the same brand name for various cameras. All trace of the Matsuzaki company is lost after 1953.
Distributed cameras
- Baby Chrome
- Zeitax I (1941)[2]
- Gelto (1937–8): authorized dealer in Kansai (Western Japan), the camera was distributed by Hattori Tokei-ten[3]
- Cosmoflex (1953)[4]
Other

- Rangefinder conversions for the Gelto, Arsen, Picny, Vero Four, Roico, Molby and Boltax (1943–4)[6]

Many advertisements issued by Matsuzaki, both before and after the war, indicate that it was the "distributor of the Tsubasa photographic products" (ツバサ写真用品発売元).[11] These Tsubasa accessories were perhaps made by Tōkyō Shashin Kōgaku Kōgyō-sho. It is not known if they are unrelated with the cameras called Tsubasa made by Optochrom and later Kigawa.
