Mizuno Shashinki-ten (水野写真機店) was a Japanese company based in Tokyo.
Before the war, it was installed as a camera shop facing the Ueno station.[1] It was already active in 1926, and manufactured field cameras.[2] The company distributed various cameras in the late 1930s and early 1940s, some of which were perhaps specifically made for it.
Mizuno survived the war and distributed the Gelto and Middl 120 in the early 1950s. The address at the time was Tōkyō-to Taitō-ku Kita-inarichō 1 (東京都台東区北稲荷町1).[3] The trace of the company is lost after 1953.
