Konosuke Matsushita Museum / 1918～1929
The exterior of the museum building emulates the exterior of the Panasonic headquarters building constructed in 1933. The museum was opened in 1968 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of Matsushita Electric Housewares Manufacturing Works (now Panasonic). The Konosuke Matsushita Museum traces the historical development of Japan's household appliances industry.

Konosuke started producing attachment plugs. It was an accessory where an electric light was screwed into a socket and the cord was extended in order to use another electric light or an electric heater. It was called the Attachin for short. This was the first paste (natural resin; Copal) wiring accessory manufactured by Panasonic. Subsequently, the company came to manufacture various types of wiring accessories.
