Tōkyō Shashin Kōgaku Kōgyōsho (東京写真工業所)[1] was a Japanese camera maker based in Tokyo, Arakawa.[2] It made the Baby Germa 3×4cm camera from late 1938.[3] This camera was still distributed by Kigawa in 1943.[4] It seems that it also made the Tsubasa accessories (e.g. hoods and self-timer) distributed by Matsuzaki Shashinki-ten,[5] and it was thus probably related to Optochrom and Kigawa.
Tōkyō Shashin Shōkai (東京写真商会, i.e. "Tokyo photography trading") was a Japanese distributor that advertised the Ami and Sintax folding cameras between 1941 and 1943.[6]
It is not known if the two companies were related.
