The Type 38 12 cm Howitzer (1905) is an obsolete Japanese field piece used by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II. It was encountered by Allied forces for the first time on Iwo Jima and it may be used again as an emergency or substitute weapon. The Type 38 designation was given to this gun as it was accepted in the 38th year of Emperor Meiji’s reign (1905).
