Here are a few random pictures from the colorful Towel Museum in Imabari\nJapan, which I covered<\/span> in a couple<\/span> of posts last month (part one<\/a> and part two<\/a>). The towel<\/span> giraffe above is a smaller<\/span> version of the one Anthony is hugging in this photo<\/a> from\npart one.<\/p>\n\n

The displays of wares for sale at the many shops were always colorful...<\/p>\n\n

I was thinking of using this picture as one of my “What am I?” quizzes<\/a>, but\nit's probably not challenging enough, so I'll just post it here, and the answer follows later in this post.<\/p>\n\n

The big wall of big thread spools seen at the top of part one<\/a>, and more\ninterestingly in this photo<\/a> from\nthe same post, was full of photogenic possibilities....<\/p>\n\n

There were various rooms of towel-related art, including the detail above from the piece seen below. It's not really<\/span> my cup of tea,\nbut who ever knew there was “towel art”?<\/p>\n\n
