The Type 38 10 cm cannon (三八式十糎加農砲, Sanhachishiki Jyūsenchi Kanōhō) was a field gun used by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War I, the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II. It was a licensed copy of a 1905 Krupp design. The Type 38 designation was given to this gun as it was accepted in the 38th year of Emperor Meiji's reign (1905).[3] By 1941 it was thoroughly obsolete and relegated to second-line service.
