Yamamoto Shashinki Kōsakusho
Yamamoto Shashinki Kōsaku-sho (山本写真機工作所) is a Japanese company that made cameras before World War II, among them the Semi Kinka, a 4.5×6 folder, copy of the Nettar. Its address in 1937 was Tōkyō, Kanda, Ogawa-chō 2 (東京・神田・小川町二)[1].
It was maybe related to the distributor Yamamoto Shashinki-ten (山本写真機店, meaning Yamamoto Camera Shop), which sold a 6.5×9 folding plate camera called Weha Light around 1930, the Weha Chrome Six from 1937 and was an authorized dealer of the Wester or Semi Wester 4.5×6 folder by Nishida.
