Overview
The Tajima Residence provides a window into the world of Japanese silk production during the Meiji era. Built in 1863 by Tajima Yahei, the residence is a testament to his innovative approach to silkworm farming. Yahei developed a unique architectural addition called a 'yagura,' a raised roof with windows designed to control airflow, optimizing conditions for silkworm cultivation.The two-story structure served a dual purpose, with the family living area on the first floor and the second floor dedicated to sericulture. While the interior of the home is not open to the public, visitors can explore the grounds and a mulberry storage building. This building displays old farm tools and samples of silkworm cocoons, offering a tangible connection to the past.The Tajima Residence is part of the Tomioka Silk Mill and Related Sites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It stands as a reminder of the region's rich history as a silk-producing area and the ingenuity of those who contributed to the industry. The residence is still home to the seventh generation of Tajima's descendants.
