This stylish textile originates from Japan’s late Showa period (1965–1975) and is a scholarly example of the bold, "funky" modernist aesthetics that redefined traditional motifs during the mid-century. Measuring 13.25 inches by 59 inches (34 cm x 150 cm), the piece represents a complete panel from a disassembled kimono and is preserved in very good condition, showing some standard age-related patina. Crafted from a vintage off-white silk crepe, the fabric possesses a delightful texture and a graceful, fluid drape.

The visual narrative features a rhythmic, graphic arrangement of kiku (chrysanthemum) motifs rendered in an exceptionally vibrant palette of poppy orange, deep red, forest green, and plum. The design utilizes a staggered hexagonal grid, known as kikkō, to frame smaller floral clusters, while large, oversized blossoms break across the boundaries of the grid. This juxtaposition of rigid geometric structure with high-energy, saturated color reflects the era's mastery of "Pop Art" influences within the context of classical Japanese flower symbolism.
