The Tomioka silk mill was one of the earliest and most major [[silk]] reeling factories to be established in [[Meiji period]] Japan, pioneering a shift in the Japanese silk industry towards the widespread use of modern/Western techniques and technologies. Located in [[Gunma prefecture]], the mill is today a UNESCO [[World Heritage Site]].
