This exquisite textile originates from the Taisho period (1912–1926) and is a scholarly example of the romantic, nature-inspired aesthetics that flourished during this era of creative liberation. Measuring 13.5 inches by 61 inches (34 cm x 155 cm), the piece represents a complete panel from a disassembled garment and remains in excellent condition. The substrate is a delicate rinzu (silk damask), dyed in a vivid turquoise blue that provides a luminous and textured foundation for the over-dyed botanical imagery. The fabric is noted for its soft texture and an excellent drape, characteristic of high-quality pre-war silk production.

The visual narrative is a vibrant celebration of seasonal flora, dominated by large botan (peony) motifs. These peonies are rendered as ivory-white blossoms defined by thick, variegated red outlines that add a sense of painterly depth and dimension. Interspersed among the peonies are charming tsubaki (camellia) flowers in alternating red and white tones. A striking feature of the composition is the use of sunny yellow for the leaves, creating a high-contrast, non-traditional color palette that reflects the daring spirit of "Taisho Roman" design. The combination of the turquoise field with the primary red and yellow accents results in a spirited and energetic representation of a classical garden scene.
