This study examined the decline of mulberry orchards and subsequent land use in the Tonegawa area of Isesaki City. From the Meiji to the Taisho eras, this area was a land of thriving silkworm breeding and raising. However, the silk industry declined, leading to the disappearance of vast mulberry orchards. We divided the age of the silk industry of this area into five periods based on the social background of apparent changes in a mulberry field, and conducted a literature review and map comparison of mulberry orchard site use for each era.
