This vibrant textile originates from Japan’s Early Showa period (1926–1940) and is a scholarly example of the bold, painterly abstraction achieved through the meisen silk technique. Measuring 14.5 inches by 43 inches (37 cm x 109 cm), the panel is crafted from high-quality silk and remains in very good condition. While a minor repair is discreetly located on the reverse side, it remains barely noticeable from the front, preserving the visual integrity of the striking design.

The visual narrative is dominated by cascading fuji (wisteria) vines rendered in a fiery, high-contrast palette of deep rust-red and orange against a brilliant saffron-yellow ground. The wisteria clusters are depicted with the signature "blurred" edges of the heiyō-kasuri (double ikat) process, creating a sense of organic depth and soft texture. Small, intentional pops of mint green represent emerging leaves, providing a cool counterpoint to the warm tonal profile of the panel. This composition exemplifies the pre-war era's move toward oversized, graphic florals that reimagined traditional seasonal motifs with a modern, energetic flair.
