Summary[edit]

Description Japanese octagonal tent. This complete tent weighs 118 pounds, without pegs and poles. The octagonal tent ordinarily houses from 15 to 20 men, although the manual states that 40 can be accommodated in the tropics and 36 in cold regions (fig. 406). Pyramidal in shape, it is made of comparatively lightweight, closely-woven duck. It is about 24 feet in diameter and uses a 12 foot 9 inch center pole. Figure 406 from the Handbook On Japanese Military Forces.
