The Murata rifle ( Murata j) was the first indigenously produced Japanese service rifle adopted in 1880 as the Meiji Type 13 Murata single shot rifle. The 13 referred to the adoption date, the year 13 in the Meiji period according to the Japanese calendar. Later revisions including a tubular magazine, and a reduced caliber, led to the introduction of the Type 22 in 1889, the 22nd year of the Meiji calendar.
