the first yarn in Japan

The first yarn in Japan is hemp which was found in Torihama ruins in Fukui prefecture in Japan.
It was from 10000years ago.
Japan has long history of Hemp.



Because Japanese word which is "Nuno" means Hemp long time ago.
If I translate "Nuno" in English, it is textile.
Usually when people had talked about textile, those almost were hemp in Japan.

Also Hemp have been used by many shrine.

Known everybody scared thing in Japan is "SHIMENAWA" which made from hemp.


And many of pattern from hemp was popular in Japan.
people have loved it.
