Yamamoto Shashinki-ten (山本写真機店, meaning Yamamoto Camera Shop) was a Japanese distributor that probably owned the Weha brand.
It sold a 6.5×9 folding plate camera called Weha Light around 1930.[1] It was selling the Weha auxiliary rangefinder in 1936 (as well as the Baby Lyra and Semi Lyra by Fuji Kōgaku)[2] and sold the Weha Chrome Six from 1937. It was also an authorized dealer of the Wester or Semi Wester 4.5×6 folder by Nishida.
See also Yamamoto Shashinki Kōsaku-sho, a camera maker that is maybe related.
