Former National Raw Silk Conditioning Houses
Former National Raw Silk Conditioning Houses, Government building with Gothic architecture in Onohama-chō, Japan
The Former National Raw Silk Conditioning Houses features reinforced concrete construction with external Gothic elements and multiple inspection chambers for silk processing.
Built in 1932, this facility played a central role in Japan's silk industry by testing the quality and weight of raw silk for international export.
The building represents the transformation of Japan's silk industry from traditional methods to standardized international quality control processes.
