This vibrant textile originates from Japan’s mid-Showa period (1950–1970) and is a scholarly example of the era's ability to replicate complex traditional weaves through innovative printing and dyeing techniques. Measuring 14.5 inches by 58 inches (37 cm x 147 cm), the panel is in excellent condition and is crafted from high-quality silk. The design features a "faux meisen" aesthetic, successfully mimicking the blurred, painterly edges of kasuri (ikat) dyeing that were highly popular in the early 20th century.
The visual narrative is composed of adjacent rows of jewel-toned chevron patterns in a sophisticated palette of emerald green, deep forest green, and navy blue. These "V" shaped motifs are arranged in a dense, interlocking sequence that creates a strong sense of rhythmic movement across the fabric surface. By utilizing modern mid-century production methods to emulate the labor-intensive meisen look, this piece represents a bridge between traditional Japanese craft and the bold, geometric sensibilities of post-war graphic design.
