This striking textile originates from Japan’s mid-Showa period (1950–1970) and is a scholarly example of the bold, mid-century modern aesthetic that revitalized traditional weaving centers. Measuring 14.75 inches by 59 inches (37 cm x 150 cm), the panel is crafted from high-quality meisen silk, which remains in excellent condition. While typical meisen is known for a crisp handle, this specific silk variant possesses a softer feel with less crispness, yet it maintains the characteristic thin profile and fantastic drape associated with the type.

The visual narrative is defined by a saturated deep red wine ground, providing a sophisticated and moody backdrop for the graphic elements. It features a vertical, rhythmic arrangement of bold color bars in a striking true lime shade. These bars are executed using the kasuri (ikat) technique, where the vertical and horizontal intersections create a cross-like or "plus" motif. The signature "blurred" edges of the lime pigments, appearing as fine vertical threads bleeding into the wine base, give the geometric pattern a sense of vibrating energy and hand-crafted depth. This minimalist, high-contrast composition reflects the post-war shift toward architectural abstraction in textile design.
