Okaya Silk
Silk fabrics with a moist and elegant luster. This is a proud souvenir from Okaya, which was once called the 'Capital of Silk.' From the Meiji to Taisho eras, Okaya City was a central hub that led Japan's silk reeling industry. With the abundant waters of Lake Suwa providing power, numerous silk reeling factories lined the area. The raw silk produced here was transported across the seas to the world, supporting Japan's modernization. Even today, silk products such as scarves and stoles are manufactured, and at the Okaya Silk Museum, you can take a deep dive into the history of the city's silk industry. A smooth texture and a soft luster. This is a special piece where the history of Okaya and the skills of artisans are carefully woven together.
