This striking textile originates from the late Taisho period to early Showa era (1920–1930) and is a scholarly example of the bold, graphic aesthetics that defined pre-war urban fashion. Measuring 14.5 inches by 59 inches (37 cm x 150 cm), the panel is preserved in excellent condition. It is crafted from tsumugi, often referred to as "dry silk," which is characterized by the use of irregular threads spun from hatched cocoons. This technique, similar to tussah silk, results in a textured, matte finish that handles with a characteristic thinness while maintaining a nice drape.

The visual narrative features a vibrant, true red background that serves as a high-contrast stage for oversized, abstracted sakura (cherry) blossoms. These blossoms are rendered in a daring palette of crisp white and vivid turquoise, some featuring serrated petals and delicate interior dotting. The use of turquoise against a primary red field is a hallmark of the adventurous color theory found in early 20th-century Japanese textiles, where classical floral motifs were reimagined with modern, saturated pigments.
