This distinctive textile originates from Japan’s mid-Showa period (1950–1960) and is a scholarly example of the naturalistic, experimental dyeing techniques that gained popularity in the post-war era. Measuring 14 inches by 39 inches (36 cm x 99 cm), the panel is crafted from high-quality silk and remains in good condition, bearing several small stains that reflect its history and authentic character. The design features an all-over composition of scattered leaves, rendered in a style that mimics organic leaf impressions or stenciled block prints.

The visual narrative is composed of a diverse array of foliage in various stages of seasonal transition. The color palette is a sophisticated blend of dusty rose, sage green, and muted red, set against a warm cream ground. Notably, several "hero" leaves feature a complex tri-color internal pattern of navy blue, teal, and magenta, suggesting the detailed veins and variegated surfaces of real botanical specimens. This rhythmic, non-linear arrangement of leaves represents a "modern" mid-century departure from the highly structured floral compositions of the previous generation, embracing a more spontaneous and nature-driven aesthetic.
