A royal silkworm experience

This morning on the telebe wa I saw the Empress of Japan "planting" silkworms (if that's what you call it) and then harvesting the silk! Very very interesting. It seemed to be a documentary of various royal adventures. Thus I've been reading about the royal family and will share pictures and links. Seems like a Cinderella story!
