EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate process of the Japanese silk industry during the second hibernation phase of the silkworms, circa 1909. The image showcases a room filled with trays and racks, each holding a delicate stack of paper-like materials. These materials are not the final silk products, but rather the protective cocoons in which the silkworms, specifically the species Bombyx mori, will soon transform. During the second hibernation phase, the silkworms, having already spun their cocoons during the first hibernation, enter a period of rest. The temperature and humidity of the room are carefully controlled to ensure the silkworms remain dormant until it is time for them to metamorphose into moths. Once the moths emerge, they will lay their eggs, marking the beginning of the next generation of silkworms. The women in the photograph, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, are employed in the silk industry, responsible for maintaining the conditions necessary for the silkworms' development. Their dedication and expertise are essential to the successful production of the highly prized Japanese silk. This historical image offers a glimpse into the rich tradition and technique of the Japanese silk industry, a practice that has been passed down through generations. The intricacies of the process, from the silkworms' hibernation to the creation of the final silk product, highlight the artistry and craftsmanship involved in this ancient industry.
