Toho vs. Toyo view cameras

Hi All
What's the difference between Toho & Toyo cameras? I suspect that
there's some history btn. these 2 companies or are they the same co.
or is one a different quality range, or?
Hell, I've yet to figure out the difference or not btn. Macto & Mac
tools, & I'm from Columbus, Ohio, originally.
Not earth shattering, just curious, John

I don't think they are related at all. You have to be careful about
English translations of Japanese words. Often in Japanese there are
differences not apparent in English.

I was taking some pictures in Millenium Park in Chicago and encountered
a photographer from Tokyo with a Linhof. I asked him if the Toho which
made my camera had any relation to the Toho which produced the famous
films by Kurosawa. I gathered from his response that in Japanese the
names were entirely different, and there was no connection.

With at least four Japanese writing systems, you expect any convergence
with English?

Hi John, only on the days of harmonic conversions, which are raerer
that blue moons. Thank you both Lenoard & John.
