About
The Gokoku (ゴコク) and Ricohl (リコール) are Japanese cameras taking 3×4cm pictures on 127 film, made by Riken Kōgaku Kōgyō (the predecessor of Ricoh) and originally announced in 1938 as the Riken No.1. They have a focal plane shutter and look like the Leica screw models, without a rangefinder. (It is said that the Roico 4×4cm camera with leaf shutter used the body of the Gokoku and Ricohl in a slightly modified form.)[1] These cameras were manufactured in Riken's Ōji plant.[2]
