Japanese History
[Introduction to the Contents]
The state-run Tomioka Silk Mill established by the Meiji Government had a great influence on the world textile industry at that time.
This is because the quality of Japanese silk produced by this silk reeling plant, which started its operation in the early dawn of 1872, and exported to Europe and the United States was extremely good.
And even after being sold to the zaibatsu and privatized, and even during World War II and during the chaotic period after World War II, the operation of this Tomioka Silk Mill continued without a break. As a major player supporting the Japanese trade balance at that time, this temple continued to play its role for a long period of time.
Through the operation of this silk reeling plant, along with the difficult journey that the textile industry had followed at that time, this book reveals the actual state of labor and the activities of the women craftsmen who continued to support it.
