Japanese silk
Japanese silk is any silk harvested in the country of Japan. The silk industry there was predominant in the 1930sā50's, but it is less common now.[1] The practice of harvesting silk began in Japan in the 3rd century, when the technique was adapted from their East Asian neighbors, China and Korea. They refined the techniques to make it distinctly Japanese, and Japanese silk became widely known as being of very high quality.[2]
