The Type 41 75mm mountain gun was accepted in 1908 (the 41st year of Emperor Meji's reign, which gives it its Type 41 name), originally a license-build copy of the German Krupp M.08 mountain gun. From 1934, when the new Type 94 75mm mountain gun was accepted, the Type 41 gun become an infantry regimental gun (Rentai Ho). Every infantry regiment was equipped with four Type 41 75mm guns, hence a triangular division as the IJA 23th Infantry Division had twelve guns.
