Nittō Shashin Kōgaku Kōgyōsha (日東写真光学工業社, meaning "Japanese Photographic and Optical Industrial Company") was a Japanese company active in 1940. Its name appears on an advertisement for the Bolex, where it is mentioned as the maker of the camera.^[1] The address was in Tokyo, Kyōbashi. It was perhaps succeeded by Teikoku Shashin Kōgaku Kōgyōsha, known as the distributor of the Bolex in 1944.
