This distinctive textile originates from Japan’s late Showa period (1960–1980) and is a scholarly example of the practical yet artistically bold wool kasuri produced during the post-war era. Measuring 14.5 inches by 42 inches (37 cm x 107 cm), this panel was taken from a roll (tanmono) and remains in excellent condition. During this period, wool became a favored material for everyday winter kimono due to its warmth and durability, often featuring geometric patterns that bridged the gap between traditional folk craft and modern graphic design.

The visual narrative is defined by a rhythmic, grid-like arrangement of stylized motifs set against a deep navy blue ground. The pattern consists of alternating rows of vibrant orange and lemon-yellow circular forms, each featuring a crisp white vertical "stamen" detail. These pops of color are separated by elongated, dark green rectangular lattices, creating a structured, architectural feel. The execution uses the kasuri (ikat) technique, where threads are tie-dyed prior to weaving to produce the signature slightly feathered edges seen in the motifs. This specific combination of high-contrast primary colors and a rigid geometric layout reflects the mid-to-late 20th-century trend of revitalizing mingei (folk art) styles for a contemporary audience.
