This vibrant textile originates from Japan’s early Showa period (1930–1940) and is a scholarly example of the energetic, large-scale graphic designs that defined meisen silk during the pre-war era. Measuring 13.5 inches by 60 inches (34 cm x 152 cm), the panel is crafted from high-quality silk that offers a slightly crisp texture, yet its lighter weight ensures a graceful drape. The composition is set against a saturated magenta-pink ground, featuring a tonal, figured geometric pattern woven into the substrate that provides a sophisticated architectural foundation for the printed motifs.

The visual narrative is dominated by a bold, teal-blue hexagonal lattice, or kikkō (tortoiseshell) pattern, which stretches across the entire length of the panel. Overlaid upon this structure are oversized, stylized lily blossoms in vibrant shades of butter-yellow and deep teal, accented with crisp white leaves. The pattern is executed using the kasuri (ikat) technique, resulting in the signature "blurred" edges that give the blossoms a sense of vibrating movement and painterly depth. This specific combination of a traditional protective geometric lattice with modern, almost tropical floral imagery reflects the era's fashionable "Modern Girl" aesthetic, which sought to blend heritage symbols with contemporary global trends.
