This expansive textile originates from Japan’s mid-Showa period (1950–1970), a time when textile designers masterfully blended traditional motifs with more modern, eclectic compositions. Measuring 14.75 inches by 77 inches (37.5 cm x 196 cm), this long panel is crafted from high-quality silk and remains in very good condition. The design is a sophisticated montage featuring a diverse array of botanical elements set against a complex, multi-textured background.

The visual narrative is dominated by stylized floral blooms in vibrant shades of turquoise, cerulean blue, and soft violet. These pops of color are interspersed with delicate white blossoms and neutral-toned foliage, creating a dense and rhythmic garden-like effect. The background is a scholarly exercise in contrast, utilizing dark, stippled areas that mimic the look of fine moss or stone, juxtaposed with pale, airy sections that provide a sense of atmospheric depth. The overall painterly quality and the layered appearance of the different flower designs reflect the mid-century's penchant for creating rich, textural landscapes within a single garment panel.
