The Type 89 15 cm Cannon was the main gun of the Imperial Japanese Army heavy artillery units. The Type 89 designation was given to this gun as it was accepted in the year 2589 of the Japanese calendar (1929). It was widely used from the Manchurian Incident to the end of World War II for example Nomonhan Bataan and Corregidor Island Okinawa. The Type 89 15 cm gun was comparable to the U.S. M1918 155 mm GPF cannon but the Type 89 has shorter range.
