This expansive and lyrical textile originates from Japan’s mid-Showa period (1950–1970). Measuring 14.5 inches by 74 inches (37 cm x 188 cm), the panel is crafted from high-quality silk that provides a serene, neutral foundation for its detailed landscape motifs. The piece is in excellent condition, preserved as a significant six-foot length of decorative artistry.

The visual narrative depicts a tranquil highland scene, featuring wild mountain flowers set against a backdrop of golden, stylized clouds. The florals are rendered in a sophisticated palette of muted burgundy, dusty purple, and sage green, with each blossom further defined by intricate gold metallic outlining. Adding to the ethereal quality of the composition, the golden clouds are adorned with scattered speckles of gold leaf or pigment, suggesting the atmospheric shimmer of sunlight breaking through mountain mist. The arrangement follows a traditional keishiki (scenery) layout, where the motifs are clustered in diagonal vignettes that create a sense of receding depth and open sky.
