History and profile

The first issue of Ars Camera is dated April 1921: predating Asahi Camera by five years. With a mixture of photographs, material about cameras, and contests, it set a pattern for mainstream camera magazines that has continued to the present day.[3] It managed to keep publishing despite the Tokyo earthquake of 1923, but from January 1941 was forced to merge with Shashin Salon Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler, Shashin Saron) and Camera Club (Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler, Kamera Kurabu) to form Shashin Bunka (Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler).

Camera was quick to reemerge after the war, with an issue dated January 1946. For some years it was edited by Kineo Kuwabara. Its last issue was dated August 1956.
