The silk mill in Tomioka City
first in Japan
It's amazing to think something so light weight and strong comes from the cocoon of a worm...
Many places in Gunma are historically famous for their production of silk. For myself, who has only really ever learned about the process for producing cotton, learning about silk was pretty interesting. If you have a chance, I recommend checking out Tomioka's silk mill. It's a great way to spend a rainy afternoon when outdoor activities aren't as much fun.
