Some Japanese guards are seen with [[Howa Type 64]] battle rifles, possibly as a replacement for the Arisaka rifles in IJA service. In the world of The Man in The High Castle, it may be under the name Type 37, referring to the 37th year of Emperor Hirohito's reign, 1962; a convention that was replaced by the year a weapon entered service in the western calender after Japan lost WWII. It may be chambered in 6.5x50mm Arisaka instead of 7.62x51mm NATO as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was never formed in this alternate history. The presence of the Type 64 is slightly anachronistic as the weapon entered service in Showa 39 or 1964, two years after the setting of the novel and show, however it's highly likely due to winning the war and never having yo disarm, Japan's weapon industry was allowed to accelerate unchecked.
