Katsura Seisakusho (桂製作所, meaning "Katsura Works") was a manufacturing plant in Kyōto, which produced some examples of the SK-100 aerial camera during World War II.[1] It is said that the plant was set up in 1944 by Mitsubishi Jūkōgyō (三菱重工業, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries), to produce aero engines.[2] After World War II, it was fully merged into Mitsubishi Jūkōgyō, and made civilian engines as Mitsubishi's Katsura plant.[1]
