Development of Japanese pearls
At the beginning of the 20th century, Japanese noodle merchant Yukichi Tamaki discovered the secret that pearl oysters can cultivate pearls. He was very familiar with the pearl growth in Hepu, Guangxi, China, so he used Hepu pearl shell to cultivate Japanese seawater pearls, and finally successfully cultivated the world's first round pearl in 1905, which made a sensation in the world for a while, and Shi Yu became the "Pearl King".
In the early 1920s, Japanese seawater pearls began to be put into mass production. From 65438 to 0920, Japan began to cultivate freshwater pearls, and chose to use mother-of-pearl mussels along LakeBewa, cut them into pieces, and used extremely irregular impurities in mussels as nuclear insertion materials. It was successfully transplanted into freshwater pearl mussels, but the quality of pearls produced was not good. Sales will naturally not be very good.
1940, Japanese farmers summed up the experience and lessons of cultivating freshwater pearls in the early stage, abandoned the method of using chopped mother-of-pearl mussels as cores and successfully implanted them into mother-of-pearl mussels. As a result, the freshwater pearl breeding industry developed rapidly. By the 1960s, Japan's pearl industry had an unprecedented development, with an annual output of dozens of tons of pearls, making it the country that produces the most pearls in the world.
1960-1970 is the most glorious period of Japanese pearl industry, with its development reaching its peak, with an annual output exceeding 100 ton and the highest annual output exceeding 120 ton. In 1970s, the annual output of pearls was 80-100t; In 1980s, the annual output was 60-80 tons; In the early 1990s, the annual output was 60-70 tons.
