The Towel Museum is a unique art museum that showcases the manufacturing process of towels, as well as artwork that combines towels and art. Visitors can see colorful works of art, such as those made by Cathy Nakajima, who specializes in Hawaiian quilts and American quilts. The museum also has a shop with no admission fee, offering a wide selection of products including popular photo spots like the thread spools. In 1894, Heisuke Abe, a cotton flannel merchant, modified a cotton flannel loom to create a towel loom and started the first towel production in Imabari. Imabari City is still known throughout Japan as the largest towel production center today.
