It is said that it made the Baby Germa 3×4cm camera at the end of 1937.[1] Kokusan kamera no rekishi also reports that an advertisement mentions this company as the maker of the Tsubasa products, this certainly corresponds to the Tsubasa hoods and filters distributed by Matsuzaki Shashinki-ten.[2] This company is called Tōkyō Shashin Kōgaku Kōgyō-sha (東京写真工業社) in the "Kokusan shashinki no genjōchōsa" ("Inquiry into Japanese cameras") and it was based in Tokyo, Arakawa in 1943.[3]
