The Type 45 240 mm howitzer (四五式二十四糎榴弾砲 Yongo-shiki Nijyūyon-senchi Ryūdanhō) was a siege gun used by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War I and World War II. The Type 45 designation was given to this gun as it was accepted in the 45th year of Emperor Meiji’s reign (1912). It was the first such weapon to be entirely designed in Japan.
