"The Type I rifle Arisaka (\u30A4\u5F0F\u5C0F\u9283, I-shiki sh\u014Dj\u016B) was produced during the early years of World War II for the Japanese Empire by the Kingdom of Italy (Type I is not a numeric symbol, it denominates Italian). After the invasion of China, all Arisaka production was required for use of the Imperial Army, so under the terms of the Anti-Comintern Pact, the Imperial Navy contracted with Italy for this weapon in 1937."@en .
