The Nōman Flex[1] (ノーマン・フレックス) is a Japanese 6×6 TLR sold in 1942 and 1943 by the distributor Sugihara Shashinki-ten.[2]
The distance knob and advance knob are both on the right when held by the photographer, and the whole front plate moves back and forth for focusing. There is probably an automatic film advance device, with a small round window that is surely an exposure counter.
The nameplate is marked Nōman Flex and there is another marking below, apparently reading Ohara Kogaku.
The camera is advertised in the October 1942 issue of Shashin Bunka[3], listed with a K.O.L. f:3.5 lens for ¥290, a high price, the same as an Auto Semi Minolta. The shutter is reported to be a Noman I giving T, B, 1–300 speeds.[4]
