A trip to Ricoh Ring Cube

Ricoh’s “Ring Cube” occupies two floors of a building in Ginza [link to map], which happens to be the place to go in Tokyo if you’re looking for old-school camera shops. That’s not really my thing but here’s a page with relevant information if you’re interested. All of the major Japanese camera manufacturers have a branded “gallery” or “salon” or… “ring cube” in Tokyo, as a place to show photographs and also show off their latest wares. The top floor of Ring Cube is a small museum which displays every camera Ricoh has ever manufactured.

Anticipation

Ricoh made a lot of TLR cameras

This reminded me of “Tokyo Olympiad

The amazingly small Ricoh Auto Half series. I forgot to take a picture of the great ads for these cameras which are displayed just to the side

One of many 110 format cameras, but this one stood out to me

I am pretty sure this camera was in the house growing up, although I also think I was not allowed to use it

A sacred place. WALL OF GR SERIES CAMERAS

A blue GRD?
