Isn't this pretty?
China was the world's largest producer of silk for over 3,000 years. A trade route that ran from China to the Mediterranean Sea was called the "Silk Road". Silk was considered even more valuable than gold and was often traded for precious metals and high valued items.
After World War II Japan had become the biggest producer of raw silk and is still today a major producer of silk.
I hope you enjoy this lovely silk trade card!
