Sanwa
Sanwa Shōkai (三和商会) is a Japanese company that distributed cameras at least from the 1930s to the 1950s. Some sources[1] attribute the Baby Suzuka to this company, but the name that appears in an ad for this camera is K.K. Sankō (株式会社三光). In 1942, Sanwa Shōkai was advertising the Semi Zeitax and the Semi Condor[2].
