Origin(Dainyorai)

Dainyorai is a Japanese variety of univoltine and white colored cocoon. It had been held by Imperial Kyoto Sericultural Science College. The cocoon is large spindle shaped and has flossy wrinkle. The body marking is plain. The cocoon color is light greenish yellow. It is considered that the present Dainyorai is distinct from the Dainyorai strain of the era of Hoei(1704-1711).
