This refreshing textile originates from Japan’s late Showa period (1950–1980) and is a scholarly example of the airy, impressionistic botanical designs favored for mid-to-late century seasonal attire. Measuring 14 inches by 51 inches (36 cm x 130 cm), the panel is crafted from high-quality silk featuring a distinctive rib-textured weave. This structural choice provides a wonderful handle and a graceful drape, and the piece has been preserved in excellent condition.

The visual narrative is set against a delicate, pale minty green ground, serving as a serene canvas for scattered floral motifs. These blossoms are executed in a sophisticated watercolor-like style, utilizing soft gradients to transition between deep pink, vibrant turquoise, and a muted cactus green. This minimalist, asymmetrical composition—reminiscent of the fubuki or "drifting" aesthetic—reflects a modern interpretation of classical Japanese spatial design, where the open mint field is as vital to the work as the hand-dyed florals themselves.
