Actual products symbolizing the extraordinary history of IHI are what you see when you set foot into i-MUSE. In its day, everything here was a Japan-first or world-first product for land, sea, or air. There is no better way to fully appreciate the strength of these innovative products of the past than by seeing them first hand.

This exhibit presents Japan's first truly domestically produced jet engine. Using Japanese technology, IHI took the lead in developing and bringing this engine to mass production in 1959, thus marking the beginning of Japan's aerospace industry.

Established in 1876, the Ishikawajima Hirano Shipyard was Japan's first privately managed Western-style shipyard. Here, the launch ceremony for the iron warship Chokai and dock repair for the Meiji Maru are on display. This exhibit presents the first Wolseley CP type truck manufactured in Japan by IHI in 1924. As Japan's first commercial car, the Wolseley CP marks the dawn of the country's auto industry.

IHI has always taken on the challenge of new fields that every era demands. This exhibit presents IHI's 150 year path and the growth of each enterprise in the company group over that span.
