This model accurately depicts a vessel of the Imperial Japanese Navy, being one of the twenty-four advanced warships of this type built in the interwar period. Sagiri entered service just after World War I and for years stood as a symbol of power and innovation among destroyers worldwide – surpassing most foreign counterparts in capabilities and armament.

The destroyer Sagiri was sunk in December 1941 during operations in the waters of the Dutch East Indies, becoming one of the first Japanese warships lost in the Far East during World War II.
