This lovely textile originates from Japan’s mid-Showa period (1935–1960) and is a scholarly example of the delicate, tactile beauty achieved through traditional resist-dyeing. Measuring 13.5 inches by 64 inches (34 cm x 163 cm), the panel is crafted from high-quality silk and remains in excellent condition. The composition is defined by a rhythmic, vertical arrangement of oversized stylized blossoms set against a deep violet-purple ground.

The visual narrative utilizes soft shibori techniques to create a high-contrast, graphic effect. The blossoms, which suggest camellias or plum flowers, are rendered in a crisp white with purple centers, surrounded by a background of fine diagonal "grain" or shige-shibori lines. This combination of large-scale organic forms and a textured, linear background reflects the mid-century trend of simplifying classical botanical motifs into bold, repeating patterns. The precision of the white resist against the saturated purple dye showcases the artisan's mastery over the binding process, resulting in a design that feels both traditional and modern.
