It measures 20.1 by 17.4 meters and was intended to house the four women instructors Brunat hired in France to teach his Japanese women workers. However, one of the four, Marie Charet (age 18) left Japan in October 1873 due to illness. Clorinde Vielfaure and Louise Monier (age 27) also became ill and left in March 1874. The remaining instructor, Alexandrine Vallent (age 25) did not want to be left alone, and also departed in October 1873. The building later became used as a dormitory for company officials, and as a dining room.
843:(Important Cultural Property) - Completed in 1873, this building was also known as "Building No. 3" and was another half-timbered brick a two-story building, and a hipped and tiled roof located to the east side of the East Cocoon Warehouse. It was originally the dormitory for the male technicians Brunat hired in France. The names of Justin Bellen (29 years old) and Paul Edgar Puller, and Edgar Prat (23 years old) are known; Prat was dismissed on October 30, 1873, because he went to Yokohama without permission. Several other technicians came at different times. An old map of the facility shows "Building No. 4" and "Building No. 5" in similar size and style of construction, but these buildings do not survive.

government countered by changing its focus to silk products, such as silk thread and cloth, to increase the value of its silk exports. Foreign merchants had previously approached the government with offers to provide funding for a silk mill but this was rejected as the government considered silk production to be a critical strategic industry; however, Japan lacked the technology to construct a mill on its own. In 1870, a government-owned model factory, the
Maebashi Silk Mill, was constructed with equipment imported from Italy and with a Swiss engineer to assist. It was only on a small scale and employed 12 people. Later the same year, leaders of the Meiji government, including

He agreed to rent the Tomioka Silk Mill for a five-year period, but this was strenuously opposed by the Gunma Prefectural government. By 1884, when most government-owned enterprises had been sold off, Tomioka Silk Mills remained in government hands. Due to its huge size, it was beyond the means of private investors at the time. Under its fourth director, Okano Asaji, a drop in silk prices worldwide plunged the operation deeply into the red. Hayami returned as director again in 1885 and turned the situation around by opening new markets in

The building is 140.4 meters in length, with a door at the eastern end, and is lot by large glass windows imported from France. The 300 reeling machines Brunat imported from France were installed inside. Although these were later replaced with newer technology from time-to-time, the building was large enough and did not need to be modified. Some of the original machines were given to other mill mills in Japan, and one was preserved at the Okaya Silk Museum.

However, worker turnover was high, as there was considerable social pressure against women working in a factory, and friction between women from different social classes forced to work side by side. Many workers left within three years of employment, and the need to keep training new worked added to the mill's expenses. Workers were graded according to their skill level, with a system of eight ranks introduced in 1873. Silk produced at the mill received a second place award at the

Working hours were also increased to twelve hours in summer and nine hours in winter. The elementary school was retained, but after twelve hour shifts, most workers were too tired to want to attend.
