Inoue Shōten (井上商店) was a Japanese sales company in the early 1950s, about which almost nothing is known. It was based in Tokyo, and was the distributor of a name variant of the Semi Wester, perhaps called "Semi Lord".[1]

- ↑ Column in Asahi Camera September 1951, p.103. The name of the camera is known in katakana only: セミロード, and "Semi Lord" is the most plausible reading.
