This vibrant textile originates from Japan’s early Heisei period (1990–2000) and is a scholarly example of the revival of Okinawan-inspired aesthetics in formal mainland fashion. Measuring 14 inches by 48 inches (36 cm x 122 cm), the piece is a complete panel extracted from a furisode, the most formal style of kimono for unmarried women. The silk is in very good condition and serves as a luminous substrate for the complex, multi-colored surface design.

The visual narrative is executed in the Bingata style, a traditional Okinawan stencil-dyeing technique known for its use of bold, saturated pigments and naturalistic motifs. Set against a soft powder-pink ground, the composition features a vertical arrangement of oversized botan (peony) blossoms in shades of coral red, deep sapphire blue, and golden yellow. Nestled among the flowers is a brilliantly plumed pheasant or long-tailed bird, rendered with emerald green and violet accents. The design is anchored at the base by a traditional bamboo fence motif (take-gaki), while various seasonal flora, including wisteria-like racemes and fern fronds, cascade from the top. This dense, joyful arrangement reflects the era's appreciation for artisanal heritage and the "tropical" color palettes traditionally associated with Ryukyuan artistry.
