Chronology of cameras Yamato Koki Kogyo Co. 

The exact history of the Yamato brand is not well-known. If we focus on the cameras bearing the name Yamato, the first one (as defined) appears in the late 1940s. It is the Minon 35, a small, well-crafted camera that uses Bolta cartridge film. Shortly after, a horizontal folding 6x6 camera accompanies it, but neither of them is what the brand is known for. During the 1950s and 1960s, the manufacturer released a series of small 35mm cameras with different levels of technology (basic, rangefinder, automatic exposure), all remarkably well-made. The surviving examples found today are often in excellent condition. Chronologically, the early models were inspired by Leica, and later models have a more modern shape, but they all have a family resemblance. These cameras rarely fail to capture the interest of collectors.
