Yashica Co., Ltd. (株式会社ヤシカ, Kabushiki-gaisha Yashica) is a Japanese manufacturer of cameras, lenses, and photography equipment, founded in 1949, in Nagano, Japan. The company ceased operations in 2008 and returned to the industry in 2015.
In recent years, Yashica has sought to build on its historical legacy by developing new products that blend analog aesthetics with modern digital technology. These include digital cameras featuring film simulation modes designed to recreate the look of classic film photography, as well as night vision goggles positioned at accessible price points. Alongside its core imaging products, Yashica has also collaborated with various brands and companies, such as Miu Miu, Diesel, Sanrio, and Peanuts, on limited-edition releases and design partnerships.
