This exquisite textile originates from Japan’s Taisho period (1912–1926) and is a scholarly example of the period's mastery in botanical illustration and saturated color palettes. Measuring 13.75 inches by 61 inches (35 cm x 155 cm), the panel is crafted from premium crepe silk, which provides a soft texture and an excellent drape. The composition is set against a vibrant mustard-yellow ground, remaining in impeccable condition.
The visual narrative features a rhythmic, vertical "S-curve" arrangement of bamboo branches and clusters of bright red berries. The leaves are rendered in a sophisticated combination of deep forest green and ghostly white silhouettes, creating a sense of layered depth and "floating" light. This specific motif, known as nanten (heavenly bamboo), is often associated with the winter season and carries the symbolic meaning of "turning misfortune into good luck". The fluid, graceful trail of foliage reflects the Taisho-era trend of blending traditional seasonal symbols with a more modern, decorative flow that prioritizes the vertical silhouette of the garment.
