This delicate textile originates from Japan’s mid-to-late Showa period (1950–1980) and is a scholarly example of the airy, illustrative botanical designs that emerged in post-war feminine fashion. Measuring 14.5 inches by 50 inches (37 cm x 127 cm), the panel is crafted from a premium off-white silk base that is exceptionally soft to the touch. The fabric remains in excellent condition, possessing a refined handfeel and a good drape that allows the artistic composition to flow naturally.

The visual narrative is defined by a series of hand-drawn floral motifs rendered in a fine, dark grey outline. These blossoms are artfully filled with a soft, modern palette of pale yellow, slightly turquoise blue, and tan. The placement of the colored flowers is rhythmic yet organic, leaving strategic areas of the design as monochromatic line drawings, which creates a sophisticated sense of depth and negative space. This specific illustrative style reflects the era's move away from dense, formal patterns toward a more painterly and lighthearted aesthetic.
