Japanese Projectile Question

The Japanese had a 28cm siege howitzer

I don't want to hijack the thread, but the largest japanese gun I know of is the 460mm 40cm/45 Type 94 naval gun on the Yamato Class Battleships.

The IJA had a 305mm Type 7 Year Howitzer, the closest to that was 150mm.

The IJN had a few extra large calibres such as, 202 mm (Type 38 Coast Defense Gun), 365mm (36 cm/45 Gun [bag]) and 406 mm (40 cm/45 Gun [bag]).

Nothing that I know of in the 270 mm calibre though.
 
Nothing that size that we've been able to document. There are a lot of unusual pieces though, giant mortars, bizarre projectiles, undocumented bombs, all complicated by piss-poor recording by Allied (mostly US) forces.
