Zessan
Template:127 Japan The only reference to a Zessan is this page by Nekosan. It is said that it was a 127 film camera made by Riken before the war. This camera is not listed at Ricoh's corporate site. According to the picture displayed, it would be a 3x4 format camera, with a Seikosha Licht shutter and lens on a telescopic tube, and an accessory shoe.
Note: Zessan is written 絶賛 and means "praise". Maybe there was a confusion about this camera name, because it is the kind of word likely to be used in a Japanese ad of that period (sometimes written 絶讃, seen in an ad for the Heil C).
