The Sakura Pocket Prano Hand Camera (さくらポケットプラノ手提暗函)[1] is a Japanese folding camera made from 1906 by Rokuoh-sha, the manufacturing branch of Konishi (predecessor of Konica). It was succeeded by the Pocket Idea.

Notes

  1. The name "Prano" is sometimes written "Plano" by mistake. The two spellings would be pronounced the same in Japanese, but "Prano" is confirmed by the markings on the camera itself. The words tesage anbako (手提暗函) are rendered as "Hand Camera" in the Konishi catalogue dated December 1911. In modern sources, the same words are often translated as "Portable Camera", and the camera is sometimes called "Sakura Pocket Prano Portable". The Japanese word anbako literally means "dark box"; it was forged after "camera obscura" and was used for cameras until the 1910s approximately.
