  • Tomioka Silk Mill
    Travel / Tourism
    Gunma Pref. Tomiokashi Tomioka 1-1
    When Japan first began trading with countries around the world in the late Edo period, silk was its biggest export. The Tomioka Silk Mill was founded as a model mill in 1872 by the Meiji government with the aim of improving the quality and productivity of silk production. The first buildings were timber-frame and brick construction, a pattern which continues to be used almost unchanged today. The site is filled with ways to learn about its history, including guided tours and a smartphone guide. The group of buildings from the time when the mill was first opened is designated Important Cultural Properties and National Treasures and was also collectively registered as a World Heritage Site in 2014.

    榛名湖畔の公園のすぐ上に、竹下夢二さんのアトリエがありましたので、行ってみました。残念なことに休刊日らしく建物の中に入る事が出来ませんでしたので、ガラス越しに中をのぞく程度でした。昭和５年にここにアトリエを造り活動したのですが、建物自体は復元されたもので、当時の物ではない様子でした。

    かなり良い状態で保存されており、管理に携わる方のご苦労が忍ばれます。 多くの方は車で行かれると思いますが、 駐車場は隣に4台分くらいと、徒歩2分くらいの場所にも第２駐車場があります。 観覧してもさほど時間はかからないので、混雑はあまりしない模様です。 駐車は無料です。 正直、上野村の歴史的な知識は皆無でしたが、観覧して学ぶことが多くありますた。 慰霊の園も車で5分ほどですので、併せて参拝されるこ...
