The Ebony camera company was founded by Japan ese photographer Hiromi Sakanashi in 1981.

Sakanashi is a graduate of Tokyo Photographic University . In the 1970s, he worked as a professional photographer, doing architectural and studio work. He also ran the family business, which by then had evolved into a store specializing in professional photographic equipment. He also led workshops for Japanese photographers in various European countries. In the course of his work, he became dissatisfied with the view camera s that were then available. He began to conceive of a camera that would have the functions and rigidity of a metal monorail camera , while being as lightweight and portable as a wooden field camera . The resulting 4x5 camera, made for his own use from ebony and stainless steel, eventually became the prototype for the SV45 series cameras that are still made by Ebony today. Sakanashi then saw the need for another type of camera designed for use with wide angle lenses. The resulting WIDE45 was the first wooden field camera with the radical nonfolding design , although it has been superseded by the SW45. Shortly thereafter, Sakanashi founded a company to manufacture these cameras, called Ebony. He quickly switched from using stainless steel for the metal parts to titanium, and introduced the option of mahogany for some models.
