This radiant textile originates from Japan’s late Showa period (1960–1980) and represents the era's mastery of decorative silk layering. Measuring 15 inches by 66 inches (38 cm x 168 cm), the panel is crafted from high-gloss rinzu silk, a jacquard-weave damask known for its luminous surface and supple, weighted drape. The fabric features a warm, medium cantaloupe hue and remains in excellent condition, preserving its intricate surface embellishments.

The visual narrative is a celebration of seasonal resilience, featuring ume (plum) blossoms that range in size from delicate buds to large, full blooms. These are rendered in a fresh palette of white, bright yellow, and lime green, creating a lively contrast against the orange-toned ground. The composition is further enriched with momiji (maple) and matsu (pine) motifs, forming a classical trio of auspicious symbols. Adding to its luxury, the piece features extensive gold metallic outlining and meticulous couching with both silver and gold metallic threads, which provides a raised, three-dimensional texture to the floral centers and edges.
