ミズノスポートロジーギャラリー

A gallery of sports goods on the first and third floors of the Mizuno head office building at Osaka Nanko. Official Olympic posters from the Meiji era to the present, a hundred years of Mizuno, the history of sport and the Olympic Games, a baseball uniform from the late Taisho years and a cowhide glove from the early Showa years: the equipment of a leading maker that has supported Japanese sport since it was founded in Meiji 39 (1906). It reopened after a renewal in 2012 with a professional baseball corner and an Athletes' Road corner, and beside the displays you can handle the equipment Mizuno's contracted players actually use. Another corner explains the newest Mizuno technology inside the equipment and clothing, with kits that let you feel how it works. Admission is free.
