It's home to countless historic buildings connected to a culture of silk, including the Tomioka Silk Mill, a World Heritage Site. Gunma still has Japan's highest number of silkworm farms, and is its biggest producer of cocoons and raw silk. Today cutting-edge technology and traditional techniques have merged to create new textiles of extraordinary beauty. Discover how meticulous handiwork and artistic sensibilities have influenced the prefecture's designs. Join us on a design hunt in Gunma!
