It was based in Tokyo, Kanda; its address seems very close to that of the former company Sugaya Kōki Seisakusho, and it might correspond to the same physical location after some reorganization of the postal system.[4] It made the Myracle, Hope, Rubix and Rubina subminiature cameras taking 17.5mm or 16mm film.
