Oriental Shashin Kōgyō K.K. (オリエンタル写真工業株式会社, translated by Oriental Photo Industrial Corporation) was a Japanese film maker founded in 1919. It used the Orient, Peacock and OK trademarks.[1] It used an OPIC logo (presumably for Oriental Photo Industrial Corporation) from 1937, and perhaps made large format cameras.[2] It also published a photographic magazine, Photo-Times. It reportedly made field cameras in the 1920s.[3]
It is said that the company Tōyō Kōki, which made the Peacock cameras from 1939, was a subsidiary of Oriental.[4] It was merged into the main company in 1944, becoming its optical instruments branch (光機部門), dissolved in 1945.[5]
The company became Cyber Graphics at an unknown date and still (2007) exists under that name.
