Silkworm Cocoons. <br />
Fugaku Fuketsu Wind Cave and Narusawa Hyoketsu Ice Cave | Mt.Fuji ... Up until the beginning of the Showa era, it was used as a refrigerator to store the eggs of silkworms.<br />
Until around 1955, the cave served as a storage place for seeds and cocoons that were actually used. In order to keep them from growing, and to preserve good quality seeds for better budding, the cocoons and seeds were kept in cold storage.
