Tōkōdō (東港堂) was a Japanese company about which little is known. It reportedly made the Tōkō camera using the no-need-darkroom process in 1930.[1] The name similarity with Tōgōdō (Tougodo), the most prominent maker of no-need-darkroom cameras, was probably intentional.

Notes

  1. Attribution of the Tōkō to Tōkōdō: Awano, p.7 of Camera Collectors' News no.317, quoting the book Nihon Shashinshi Nenpyō (日本写真史年表).
