English: Since Gunze Ltd. located its business office in 1928, and its plant in 1929, and raw silk was produced not only as raw materials of Tango chirimen (silk crepe) and Nishijin Textile but also for export, the local sericulture industry supported Fukuchiyama in those days.
Japanese: 1928年（昭和3年）にはグンゼの事務所が、翌年には工場が置かれたほどで、生産された生糸は丹後ちりめんや西陣織の原材料としてだけでなく海外への輸出用としても生産され、養蚕業は当時の福知山を支える地場産業であった。
English: However, when the World War II broke out, sericulture declined due to various reasons, including changes in crop (from mulberry to sweet potato) to prevent food shortages, price reduction of yarn itself, the appearance of chemical fibers such as nylon fibers, lack of successors in silk-raising farmers, aging of silk-raising farmers, etc., all factors leading to a decline and the eventual closeout by silk-raising farmers and yarn-making companies.

Japanese: それでも生き残った数少ない業者も業界の激しい値下げ競争により、生産拠点を人件費が安い海外へ移さざるを得なくなったことがさらに追い討ちをかけ、その業者の一つであったグンゼも2001年9月に福知山から撤退するなど、特産品であった生糸も現在は養蚕農家を市内大江町に一軒だけ残すのみとなり、上述の藍同様にほぼ完全に福知山から姿を消した。

English: However, 98% of lacquer has been replaced by goods made in and imported from the People's Republic of China at present, and only a few lacquer production areas remain in Japan; thus their tradition and history are being handed down on a smaller scale.

English: However, as in the case of other industries, the Washi paper industry also declined due to a decline in the lacquer industry, and it is almost impossible to see its tradition in places other than the limited facility such as the Washi Denshokan Museum.
Japanese: しかし漆産業の衰退などの理由によって、他の産業同様に衰退を招き大江町和紙伝承館などの限られた施設でのみしか、ほとんどその伝統を見ることしか出来なくなっている。
English: Ancient residents in Fukuchiyama moved mainly from Hikami (Tanba City), but also from Tajima and Tango; there are still many people that commute from such places and say that they are descended from these places.
Japanese: 福知山の古くからの住民は、丹波の氷上（丹波市）を中心に、但馬や丹後から移り住んで来た歴史があり、現在もなお通勤・通学する人は多く、市民の多くはその地出身であると言う人も少なくない。
English: However, the main dialect is a Tanba-ben dialect, and is 'Tanba-ben Chatta-ben dialect' which is a unique dialect in Tanba Hikami.
