trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/245844234 - this pic appeared in the Sydney Daily Telegraph on 12th February, 1926 (see pic lower lhs)...it was evidently taken in Sydney the previous day when officers from the NSW Staff Corps entertained officers from the visiting Japanese cruiser HIJMS Iwate at a tennis party held at Victoria Barracks. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/245844037 - the Daily Telegraph's report... Per the Daily Telegraph, the Japanese officers present included Lieutenant Commander K. Nakae, Lieutenant T. Hadaka, Lieutenant Shigenaga, Sub-Lieutenant I. Ikegami and Sub- Lieutenant N. Kimura. The commander of HIJMS Iwate was evidently Captain Yedahara...it's unclear whether he attended the Victoria Barracks tennis party. Per the Daily Telegraph the local tennis players included 'Mrs. Noel Cox Taylor, Miss Cox Taylor, the Misses Dorothy and Olga Bruche (twins), Miss Kidstone, Mr and Miss Harper, Mrs. Solby, Mrs. Bevis.' These NLA Fairfax pics were also taken on this occasion: trove.nla.gov.au/work/185779837 trove.nla.gov.au/work/185779838 trove.nla.gov.au/work/185779833 HIJMS Iwate visited Sydney on several occasions...January 1924, February 1926 and May 1932.

Japanese armoured cruiser Asama (built by Armstrong) with one of the three funnel Japanese battleships(?) following.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Trainiac Thank you for that information Trainiac, we think you're right! Our records have been updated.
Antoine R said:
This ship is really the Asama. The following cruiser is the Iwate.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Antoine R Thanks Antoine R, this one's an easier one to identify I think. :)

Japanese sailors standing on board a steam pinnace with HIJMS IZUMO in the background

Antoine R said:
The ship is the Izumo.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Antoine R Hmm, IZUMO did not visit Sydney at this time, there were three vessels, IWATE, ASAMA and YAKUMO.
Antoine R said:
Maybe this photo is of another Japanese visit. As I know the Izumo visited Australia in 1928.
Antoine R said:
Why the Izumo? Look at photos of the Iwate of 1920s and you'll see that she didn't have a searchlight top (unfortunately I don't know the correct term in English) on her main-mast while the Izumo did.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Antoine R Hmmm, it looks a lot like IZUMO. Thank you for pointing that out Antoine R. The other reason it is most likely IZUMO, is because the previous photograph in the series is this one:
