This picture was taken at the sereiculture farm at Hachieoji, Japan in the southwest section of the Tokyo Prefecture. AS you can see, our new found friends from the Tama Group were bidding us farewell, after our silk experience day at the farm. At the farm we saw the active silk worms in this very building, busy devouring the mulberry leaves. We made 'floss silk' squares and actually reeled the tiny fibers from the cocoons, and made strands of filament silk thread.

Two new friends we meet on our trip to Japan in May, 2007
