This radiant textile originates from Japan’s late Showa period (1950–1980) and exemplifies the bold, high-contrast aesthetic often found in mid-century formal wear. Measuring 14.5 inches by 67 inches (37 cm x 170 cm), the panel is a complete section from a disassembled kimono, with all original construction threads meticulously removed to preserve the fabric's integrity. The material is a premium rinzu silk, a traditional damask weave known for its remarkable shimmer, soft handfeel, and excellent drape. The piece remains in excellent vintage condition.

The visual narrative features a striking, saturated ground that blends deep red and slightly pink hues, creating a multi-tonal depth that shifts with the light. Adorning this vibrant field are bold, bright white floral motifs—likely stylized chrysanthemums and plum blossoms—rendered in a large-scale, rhythmic repeat. The crisp white of the flowers provides a dramatic graphic contrast against the warm base, while the underlying rinzu weave adds a subtle, secondary pattern that catches the light independently of the printed design.
