Then these technologies have spread to central Asia and European countries. In Japan, The prosperity of Japanese silk industry started from the end of Edo era to early Showa era. Modern spinning technology was introduced in Maebashi clan in 1970 as the Italian reeling methodology first, then French reeling techniques was introduced in Tomioka governmental reeling factory in 1972. In Suwa-Okaya region (Nagano prefecture) which is the main producing area of raw silk in Japan, the silk reeling technologies was improved and newly developed by the wisdom and ingenuity of the Japanese based on the technology of the West.
