'''Nomura Seisakusho''' (野村製作所, meaning Nomura Works) was perhaps a Japanese camera maker in the early 1940s.

The full name "Nomura Seisakusho" is given in the Japanese official price list dated November 1941, about the [[Semi-Tex]] models and about a "Balnet", surely related to the [[Baby Balnet]].<REF> {{Kakaku1141_short}}, type 3, sections 3A, 4A, 6A, 7B. </REF> Production of the Semi-Tex was started in 1937 by [[Kyokutō|Kyokutō Kōki Seisakusho]], and Nomura Seisakusho was perhaps a new name for that company.

The April 1943 government inquiry on Japanese camera production also mentions a "Nomura" (野村) company as the distributor of the [[Slick]].

The lens name Nomular, found on the [[Baby Balnet]] and on a few [[Mihama Six]] and [[Frank Six]], is perhaps related to Nomura (it would be pronounced the same in Japanese, except for the lengthened final vowel).
