Japanese Field Cameras
Japanese kabine-format field cameras were the mainstay of photographers at the nation's Shinto shrines providing portraits of visitors attending ceremonial events ¶¶¶. In addition, smaller tefuda-sized units were also manufactured

Lenses
The design of the cameras remained stable from the turn of the nineteenth century until World War II. Initially a range of lenses was utilised, subject to the penchant of the individual photographer, coupled with the range of offerings by the camera maker or distributor. Documented are, inter alia, ¶¶¶
In the 1930s, the primary lenses for the kabine-format cameras were 21cm barrel lenses fitted with a slip on Thornton-Pickard-type rouleau shutter usally mounted in front of the lens. In addition to imported German, esp. Zeiss, as well as French lenses (e.g. TCW "Modelar distributed by Tokyo Camera Works), a number of Japanese lens manufacturers carried 21cm offerings to service the demand:
- Rokuoh-Sha Hexar 21cm f/4.5
- Minolta Rokkor 21cm f/4.5
- Tōkyō Kōgaku Simlar 21cm f/4.5
- T.Y.O.W. Taiyo Anastigmat 21cm f/4.5 and f/6.3
- WIPA Yamat-Anastigmat 21cm f/4.5
- Yamasaki Congo Anastigmat 21cm f/4.5
Of these, the Congo and Hexar lenses are the most common.
