Silkworms at work for Coronation robes
Mar. 22 Silk for the Coronation robes - silkworms practically at the point of spinning. The paper with holes is a cleaning paper, and when the operator wishes to clean the silkworms, she merely places the perforated paper over them, covers it with mulberry leaves and the worms crawl through it to the fresh food. When they are all through the operator lifts up the paper and puts it onto a clean tray
