Study of modern Asian silk reeling techniques by engineered approach

丝绸业对日本的近代化起到了重要作用，养蚕和缫丝技术起源于中国的黄河流域。然后这些技术传播到中亚和欧洲国家。在日本，日本丝绸业的繁荣始于江户时代末至昭和时代初。前桥家族于1970年引进了现代纺纱技术，首先是意大利的缫丝方法，1972年富冈政府缫丝厂引进了法国的缫丝技术。在日本生丝的主要产地-水和冈谷地区（长野县），缫丝技术是在西方技术的基础上，日本人的智慧和创造力加以改进和发展的。本研究旨在通过验证在Suwa-Okaya地区设计的缫丝技术来澄清该技术背后的意图和效果。

Silk industry has played an important role for the modernization of Japan, Sericulture and silk reeling technologies have originated from the Yellow River basin of China. Then these technologies have spread to central Asia and European countries. In Japan, The prosperity of Japanese silk industry started from the end of Edo era to early Showa era. Modern spinning technology was introduced in Maebashi clan in 1970 as the Italian reeling methodology first, then French reeling techniques was introduced in Tomioka governmental reeling factory in 1972. In Suwa-Okaya region (Nagano prefecture) which is the main producing area of raw silk in Japan, the silk reeling technologies was improved and newly developed by the wisdom and ingenuity of the Japanese based on the technology of the West. In this study, it was intended to clear up intents and effects behind the technology by verifying engineered the reeling technology in Suwa-Okaya region.
