This delicate textile originates from Japan’s Taisho period (1912–1926) and is a scholarly example of the romantic, highly detailed botanical imagery that defined the early 20th-century aesthetic. Measuring 13.75 inches by 63 inches (35 cm x 160 cm), the panel is crafted from a premium thin silk crepe featuring a sophisticated background weave that offers a fantastic drape. The fabric remains in excellent condition with a charming vintage patina that speaks to its century-long history.

The visual narrative is set against a subtle taupe-ish brown ground, which provides a neutral substrate for a series of elegant floral circles. These medallions contain meticulously rendered iris blossoms, ripe berries, and diverse foliage, blending naturalism with the graphic "roundel" compositions popular in formal Taisho-era attire. The artistry is further elevated by hand-applied silk embroidery and metallic thread accents, which add a tactile, three-dimensional quality to the floral motifs. This combination of fine crepe, detailed embroidery, and silver or gold thread reflects the period's preference for soft, ethereal materials paired with understated luxury.
