It consists of four silk-related cultural properties scattered across the cities of Tomioka, Isesaki, and Fujioka, as well as the town of Shimonita, with the Tomioka Silk Mill in Gunma Prefecture as its centerpiece. The Gunma region has long been active in sericulture, silk production, and silk weaving. The Tomioka Silk Mill opened as a government-run model factory in the early Meiji period, marking the rapid development of Japan's silk industry. The former residence of Tajima Yahei in Isesaki City, one of the developers of modern sericulture methods, is an impressive building that can be considered a prototype of modern sericultural farms. Similarly, the Takayama Company ruins in Fujioka City, which established modern sericulture methods and contributed to the dissemination of knowledge and techniques in the industry, and the Arafunekaze cave in Shimonita Town, the largest silkworm seed storage facility in Japan, are both valuable legacies of the silk industry.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":196674,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-272038","travelpost","type-travelpost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spot"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/272038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travelpost"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/272038\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/196674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
