Pictures from Japan
We visited the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology in Nagoya. Toyota started out making spinning and weaving machinery before they made cars. I have lots more photos of the spinning and weaving. This photo shows one of the more modern looms.

I love your pictures and am not surprised that they are fabric/textile related. Looking forward to seeing more.
