The Gakkenflex 35mm TLR is a plastic kit camera that is included in issue #25 of "Otona no kagaku magazine", published by Gakken. The name "Gakkenflex" is molded into the front of the camera.
Documentation included with the kit indicates that the fixed f-stop is f/11 and the single shutter speed is 1/125. The camera uses standard 35mm film cassettes and exposes a 24mm x 36mm frame in portrait orientation. The lens is a single element plastic meniscus lens. Focusing of the taking and viewing lenses is synchronized by external gears, in the same way as the geared lens Ricohflex.
