Sakura Honor
This is a work in progress.
The Sakura Owner Portable Camera (さくらオナー手提暗函)[1] is a Japanese box camera made from 1907 by Rokuoh-sha, the manufacturing branch of Konishi (predecessor of Konica).
Notes
- ↑ The spelling "Owner" is used in Lewis, pp.19–20, to render the katakana オナー, but the Roman name is not confirmed and "Honour" is another plausible alternative.
