This elegant textile originates from Japan’s mid-Showa period (1940–1970) and is a scholarly example of the refined rinzu (silk damask) weaving technique. Measuring 15 inches by 69 inches (38 cm x 175 cm), the panel is in excellent condition and features a sophisticated white-on-white figured ground with a subtle sayagata (interlocking key) pattern woven into the substrate. This luminous foundation is punctuated by horizontal bands of vibrant orange, which are meticulously woven with the seigaiha (blue sea wave) motif, a classical symbol representing surges of good fortune.

The visual narrative is further elevated by three distinct, circular roundels positioned near the base of the panel. These medallions feature intricate botanical and geometric designs, including small floral sprays and checkered patterns, rendered in a palette of soft gold, green, and red. To emphasize their aristocratic quality, the roundels are highlighted with gold metallic couching, where shimmering threads are hand-stitched onto the surface to define the borders and internal details. This combination of structured wave patterns and delicate hand-embellishment reflects the era's dedication to preserving high-status decorative traditions within mid-20th-century formal attire.
