Japan: Tomioka Silk Mill

Today I got four postcards: two from Japan, one from Singapore and one from San Marino.

One of the cards from Japan shows the East Cocoon Warehouse at the Tomioka Silk Mill in the Gunma prefecture. The Tomioka Silk Mill was established in 1872 by the Japanese Government with machines from France. It marks Japan's entry into the modern and industrialised era. Since 2014 is the Tomioka Silk Mill with the Related Sites an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
