Site of the Mizunuma Filature Mill
(Mizunuma - Sugizaki Family)
Mizunuma, Kurohonecho, Kiryu City
The former village of Kurohone has been actively engaged in sericulture since the Edo Era. In the early part of the Meiji Era, Hoshino Chotaro, a gentleman farmer, established a silk filature mill on this site, and worked hard to promote both local industry and the local economy.

It is said that the expansion of silk filature in Japan can be traced to the establishment of this company
