Yonezawa Tsumugi's Golden Cocoon is a tsumugi fabric made by Saiei Orimono, a textile manufacturer in Yonezawa, using rare domestic yellow cocoons cultivated through repeated crossbreeding. Yonezawa Tsumugi is a general term for tsumugi woven fabrics produced in the Yonezawa City area of Yamagata Prefecture. There are multiple types of tsumugi fabrics, and its origins are said to date back to 1601 when Naoe Kanetsugu, a close aide to Uesugi Kagekatsu, encouraged the cultivation of ramie, a material for weaving, mulberry trees for silkworm feed, and safflower for dyes, in order to expand the domain's revenue.
Golden Cocoon refers to cocoons that were once discovered very rarely as a mutation, but have been cultivated by Saiei Orimono through repeated crossbreeding. Domestic yellow cocoons are scarce, making it difficult to process them into kimono fabric, but the yarn has a pleasant texture and can be used for unlined kimono.
