This striking textile originates from Japan’s early Showa period (1930–1940) and is a scholarly example of the bold, graphic innovation found in meisen silk production. Measuring 14.25 inches by 57 inches (36 cm x 145 cm), the panel is in excellent condition, featuring only a singular, hard-to-spot mend that does not detract from its overall structural integrity. The composition is set against a dark charcoal-green ground with horizontal ribs woven into the substrate, providing a stable and textured foundation for the vibrant floral trail.

The visual narrative is defined by a rhythmic vertical arrangement of stylized rose-like blossoms. These flowers are rendered in a sophisticated palette of cream, golden-yellow, and earthy orange, accented by long, sweeping silver-gray lines that suggest wind or trailing vines. The pattern is executed using the kasuri (ikat) technique, where the silk threads were resist-dyed before being placed on the loom; this creates the signature "blurred" or painterly edges that were highly fashionable during the pre-war "Modern Girl" era. This specific design reflects the 1930s trend of adopting Western botanical subjects and reimagining them through traditional Japanese weaving methods to create an aesthetic that was both cosmopolitan and culturally grounded.
