This evocative textile originates from Japan’s mid-Showa period (1950–1970) and is a scholarly example of the experimental "tropical" aesthetics that emerged in post-war garment design. Measuring 14 inches by 64 inches (36 cm x 163 cm), the panel is crafted from premium chirimen (silk crepe), which provides a characteristically pebbly texture and a substantial, heavier hand compared to smooth damask weaves. Despite its weight, the fabric maintains a wonderful drape. While the dyed motifs remain in great condition, the solid light stone grey areas exhibit some authentic vintage patina and fading, including a small spot located at one edge.

The visual narrative is executed using the yuzen dyeing method, further embellished with opaque white brushwork to create a sense of misty, atmospheric depth. The composition features lush tropical fronds and palm-like foliage reaching upward against a backdrop of distant, hazy mountains. At the base, a dense field of golden-yellow and ivory blossoms creates a vibrant foreground. Every leaf and petal is refined with exquisite metallic gold outlining, reflecting the mid-century's penchant for combining exotic botanical imagery with traditional high-contrast luxury finishes.
