Yoshinogari Keitai-Guide
The Yoshinogari ruins are unique among Yayoi period ruins in providing the only example of finely woven silk goods. It is known that Yayoi period weaving looms are the original machines and have a simple structure. The weavers wove cloth sitting on the ground, with one side of the machine attached to their waist, and the other wrapped around a table. However, it is assumed that the kind of finely woven silk cloth excavated from the Yoshinogari ruins had to be produced on a higher-level loom. This loom has been restored based on a loom with a higher-level structure than the original ones, and was among the many religious ceremonial artifacts discovered on Okinoshima Island in Fukuoka prefecture.
