In 1911, the founder of the Toyota Group established Toyoda Jido Shokufu Kojo (Toyoda Automatic Weaving Mill, here in Sako, Nagoya-City, for the research and development of automatic looms. He enlarged this m and reorganized it into Toyoda Boshoku Co., Ltd. (Toyoda Spinning Co., Ltd. in 1918. Sakichi perfected the Non-stop shuttle-change Toyoda Automatic Loom, Type G in 1924 at this factory. The Type G automatic loom came to be regarded as the highest performance automatic loom the time. n1926, he established Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Ltd. for the mass-production of this loom in Kariya-Town (present Kariya-City.

These are the textbooks use in school to introduce the belief and the hard life of Sakichi Toyoda.
These spinning wheels are the ancient invention that helped to turned plant and animal fibers into thread or yarn, which were then woven by a loom into cloth. No one knows for certain who invented the first spinning wheel or when. Some evidence points to the invention of the spinning wheel in India between 500 and 1000 A.D.
These are the traditional fabrics from Japan.
And these are from other countries around the world.
Introduce it to Rhys, the real cotton plant. Amazing experience!!
This was the first Gaun's Garabo machine invented by Tokimune Gaun in 1873 which used a unique spinning mechanism that spun yarn directly from the cotton. It won first prize in the National Exhibition of Japan in 1877.
But it need to spin manually using the hand.
This is the Garabo throstle spinning machine, invented by Tokimune Gaun, an engineer from Shinano (present Nagano Prefecture), in 1873 was in the limelight as a spinning machine made out of Japan’s own technology and spread all over Japan. You can spin a yarn by turning the Garabo throstle spinning machine. A dynamic exhibit of one of the power-driven Garabo throstle spinning machines currently in use is also presented.

Ah~~ From the post title, was actually expecting to see lots of cars. I guess those will come later?
