This vibrant textile originates from Japan’s late Showa period (1950–1980) and is a scholarly example of the bold, "mod" aesthetic that revitalized traditional patterns for the post-war era. Measuring an impressive 14.5 inches by 90 inches (37 cm x 229 cm), the piece represents a complete panel from a disassembled kimono, preserved in excellent condition with threads meticulously removed. Crafted from premium rinzu (silk damask), the fabric features a charming, all-over woven basketweave pattern that provides a rhythmic structural depth to the substrate. The silk is remarkably soft to the touch and offers a beautiful, fluid drape.

The visual narrative is defined by its saturated, deep bubblegum pink hue, which serves as a high-energy canvas for oversized, stylized floral motifs. These bold blossoms are rendered through shibori (resist-dyeing) techniques, featuring crisp white outlines that create a sharp, graphic contrast against the radiant pink ground. The dense, repeating arrangement of these "funky" florals reflects a departure from classical, sparse compositions in favor of a full-coverage, wallpaper-like effect popular in mid-to-late 20th-century fashion. This combination of traditional rinzu weaving and a contemporary, high-impact palette illustrates the era's transition toward more expressive and playful textile designs.
