This elegant textile originates from Japan’s mid-Showa period (1940–1960) and is a scholarly example of the tactile artistry found in traditional resist-dyeing. Measuring 14.25 inches by 66 inches (36 cm x 168 cm), the panel is crafted from high-quality soft silk and remains in excellent condition. The composition is defined by its saturated dark pink hue, achieved through a variegated immersion dyeing process that creates a subtle, cloud-like tonal depth across the fabric's surface.

The visual narrative features a rhythmic vertical arrangement of stylized circular motifs that suggest abstract blossoms or cosmic rings. These patterns are executed using the shibori (tie-dye) technique, where specific areas of the silk are bound or stitched before dyeing to prevent the pigment from penetrating. The result is a series of crisp, white dotted lines that define the interlocking curves and central focal points of the design. This combination of a vibrant, singular color with precise geometric resist-work reflects the mid-century trend of simplifying classical motifs into bold, graphic statements suitable for formal haori or kimono components.
