As with many Japanese designs, it had a very low profile and was intended to be operated from a squatting or prone position.
The gun had a gun shield to protect the gunner and open carriage-style legs which could be spread to improve the stability.
The breech had a semi-automatic cartridge case ejection system to improve reloading time.
When the shell was loaded, the rear of the cartridge case tripped a catch closing the breechblock.
The recoil action of firing opened the breech and extracted the cartridge case.

The carriage was equipped with either wooden spoked or perforated steel wheels, and the whole assembly could be broken down into four pack loads each weighing less than 100 kilograms to permit transport in four horse loads.
Sighting was by a straight telescopic sight.
The gun could fire either high-explosive or armor-piercing rounds.
