  The name Konishiroku is no longer used. The same for Sakura 
  color film (whjich I used to get from an importer in LA). It 
  was changed to Konica Corporation about 10 years ago.  
  
  While they were founded in 1873, making them Japan's oldest 
  photographic company, and produced the first Japanese Camera  
  in 1903 (making them the oldest camera manufacturer in Japan), 
  I am not sure what the original name was in 1873.  I have to 
  look it up.
  
  I know in 1903 it was Konishiroku Photo a name that stayed 
  until the 1980s.

Han:
Konishiroku is the full name of the company that makes Konica/Sakura 
products.  It used to be Konishi-ya but they changed it.
