This striking textile originates from Japan’s early to mid-Showa period (1930–1950) and is a scholarly example of the high-contrast, graphic botanical designs favored for formal pre-war and post-war attire. Measuring 13.5 inches by 60 inches (34 cm x 152 cm), the panel is crafted from a high-quality silk with a smooth texture that enhances the visual impact of its saturated dyes. The fabric remains in excellent condition, possessing a soft feel and a fantastic drape.
The visual narrative is defined by a vertical, rhythmic arrangement of flowering branches set against a peach ground. The florals are rendered in a bold palette of white and golden yellow, creating a sharp, sophisticated contrast that emphasizes the architectural flow of the stems. Clusters of deep orange-red berries or small blossoms provide warm accents throughout the composition, while the foliage is depicted in varying shades of forest and sage green. This specific use of a black substrate to make organic forms "pop" reflects the era's mastery of the kuro-tomesode aesthetic, reinterpreted here as a continuous decorative panel.
