EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken circa 1909 offers a rare glimpse into the traditional Japanese silk industry and the intricate process of gathering silkworms from their egg paper. The image showcases a group of women, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, meticulously brushing silkworms from the delicate egg paper using delicate feather brushes. The silkworms, which are the larval stage of the Bombyx mori moth, are carefully transferred to trays or scales for weighing. The egg paper, known as bombyx or bombyx-ni, is made from mulberry bark and is used to lay the silkworm eggs. The silkworms are then allowed to hatch and feed on the mulberry leaves before being prepared for the next stage of silk production. This painstaking process, which requires great care and attention to detail, has been passed down through generations and is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the Japanese silk industry." "The women in the photograph appear focused and dedicated to their task, with stacks of egg paper and racks of trays surrounding them. The scene is one of quiet concentration and harmony, reflecting the importance of this technique in Japanese culture and the deep connection between the people and the land. The use of natural materials and the absence of modern machinery adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a valuable historical record of this ancient craft." "Despite the passage of time and the advancements in technology, the traditional methods of silk production continue to be practiced in Japan, albeit on a smaller scale. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and the beauty and intricacy of the natural world.
