Article History

Isesaki, city, southern Gumma ken (prefecture), northeast-central Honshu, Japan. It lies on the Tone River, on the rail line between Takasaki (southwest) in Gumma and Oyama (east) in Tochigi prefecture.

Isesaki prospered as a market town around a castle built in the early Edo (Tokugawa) period (1603–1867). It became known for its silk manufacture, which employed a large number of women. After the Meiji Restoration (1868) the city rapidly became a centre of the silk-weaving industry; the manufacture of synthetic textiles was introduced in 1957. Other industrial products include machinery, transport equipment, and electrical appliances. Pop. (2005) 202,447; (2010) 207,221.
