williamhill英国威廉希尔中文官网 was established in June, 1994, in Sako, Nagoya Nishi Ward. The museum’s mission was to systematically introduce the history of Japanese manufacturing technology to those who will be responsible for its future development. The museum exhibits textile machinery, which was one of the core industries that helped build modern Japan, and the evolving world of automobile engineering that continues to drive the country’s development. At the same time, the museum preserves, in its original form, the Sako Plant of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Ltd. (transferred from Toyoda Spinning & Weaving Co., Ltd.) as a part of our industrial heritage.

Sakichi Toyoda devoted his life to developing looms. His oldest son Kiichiro Toyoda adapted and developed the loom technology to build automobiles and founded the Toyota Motor Corporation. williamhill英国威廉希尔中文官网 is a cultural institution guided by the following core philosophy: the museum strives to communicate to society the importance of “Making Things (“Monozukuri”)”, to which Kiichiro Toyoda devoted himself as he worked to build a domestic automobile industry, and “the Spirit of Being Studious and Creative”, as recorded by Sakichi Toyoda in his Invention Journal.
