About this photo
Under the eaves of a roof, lattice frames fill the wall with no gaps between them. Inside the frames, small round shapes line up in rows and columns, and on a slanted stand in front, more frames of the same kind are stacked tier upon tier. On the lower shelf at the right, white labels are dotted here and there.
According to the album's foreword, the items Fukushima Prefecture selected and sent to this exhibition came to 2,286 in all, and silkworm eggs were among them. The description on the facing page singles out their steady improvement year by year and the hardiness of the silkworms. It adds that they were sold in two urban prefectures (fu) and 31 other prefectures across the northeast (Ou), Kanto and Kansai.
