Similar to other underwater weapons, the Japanese did not spend much energy on mines prior to World War II. This was mainly because mines were considered to be "defensive" weapons and so were not of value to an "offensive" minded Navy.

Almost all Japanese mines were of Hertz Horn construction. No magnetic (influence) mines were developed although a number of British A Mark I - IV mines captured at Singapore were laid off Balikapan in 1945. A shore-controlled mine with an acoustic detector was developed late in 1944 and 144 of these were laid across the entrance to Tokyo Bay.

As mentioned above, the Japanese used Hertz Horns almost exclusively. Each horn contained acid. Contact with the horn broke open the acid container which energized a battery and exploded the mine.

During the war a variation was developed that replaced the acid horns with switches that activated when a ship hit the horn. By definition, horned mines were short ranged weapons, and fields needed to be densely packed to be effective against shipping.

The Mk.6 Model 1 mine had a total mass of 2,549 lbs. (1,156 kg), with an explosive charge of 474 lbs. (215 kg) of Shimose. It was triggered by 4 Hertz Horns.<ref>http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WAMJAP_Mines.php</ref>
