It might look strange, but it's actually a design feature seen on more Japanese warships, like the Takao class, Myoko class and Mogami class cruisers, and various destroyer classes:
IJN Ibuki:
IJN Takao:
Myoko class:
Mogami class
Combining exhaustpipes in a trunked funnel was also done by the US & Royal navy (take a closer look at the US destroyer designs from the 1930's)
