Third graders at Eimei Elementary School in Chino City explored the region’s traditional culture of sericulture by raising silkworms and observing their life cycle. Through hands-on experiences and a deep dive into the history and respect surrounding silkworms, often referred to as Okaiko-sama (Honorable Silkworms), the students learned important lessons about life, gratitude, and sustainability.
