This striking textile originates from Japan’s early to mid-Showa period (1920–1950) and is a scholarly example of the bold, illustrative experimentation found in meisen silk production. Sourced from an unused vintage kimono roll, the panel measures 14 inches by 46 inches (36 cm x 117 cm) and remains in excellent condition. It possesses the distinctive lightweight, "crisp" texture that made meisen a favorite for stylish everyday wear during the mid-20th century.

The visual narrative is dominated by large-scale, stylized peacock motifs that exhibit a sophisticated use of color graduation. One peacock is rendered in a spectrum of greens, ranging from vibrant lime to deep bottle green, while the other features a transition from dusty pink to rich maroon. Adding a touch of understated luxury, each bird is adorned with a subtle, narrow metallic silver band. The background is equally dynamic, utilizing a light cream field punctuated by graduated horizontal lines in donkey brown, mid-grey, and butter yellow. This rhythmic, linear backdrop serves to emphasize the organic curves of the peacocks, reflecting the era's unique fusion of traditional avian symbolism with modern, graphic design principles.
