This prestigious textile originates from Japan’s late Showa period (1950–1980) and is a scholarly example of the luxurious, high-sheen fabrics perfected for formal celebratory attire. Measuring 14 inches by 65 inches (36 cm x 165 cm), the panel is crafted from premium rinzu (silk damask), which remains in excellent condition. The silk is notably soft and shiny, featuring a specialized basketweave ground pattern that adds a sophisticated geometric texture to the lustrous surface while providing a beautiful, fluid drape.

The visual narrative is set against a creamy ivory base, showcasing a dense and intricate arrangement of seasonal motifs including sakura (cherry blossoms) and momiji (maple leaves). These botanical elements are interwoven with intersecting fan motifs, a traditional symbol of prosperity and expanding future potential. The entire composition is rendered in shades of regal purple and lavender, with every form meticulously outlined in abundant gold metallic weave. This combination of spring and autumn imagery signifies a "year-round" elegance, reflecting the late 20th-century mastery of blending dense, classical ornamentation with high-impact metallic embellishments.
