This sophisticated textile originates from Japan’s mid-Showa period (1950–1970) and is a scholarly example of the refined, earth-toned geometric and botanical fusions characteristic of post-war textile design. Measuring 14 inches by 56 inches (36 cm x 142 cm), the panel is crafted from high-quality meisen silk, which remains in excellent condition. Typical of the meisen variety, this fabric is prized for its thinner, slightly crisp, and delicate texture, offering a nice drape that beautifully supports its vertical composition.

The visual narrative is set against a textured ground featuring rhythmic, horizontal stripes of tan and darker brown hues. Adorning this structured backdrop is a graceful, repeating trail of tasteful olive-toned leaves. The leaves are rendered in a variegated palette of sage green, forest green, and rusty terracotta, with the design executed using the kasuri (ikat) technique. This creates the signature slightly blurred edges that give the organic forms a sense of depth and movement against the linear background. This specific combination of earth tones and stylized foliage reflects a mid-century move toward more versatile, "modern-traditional" aesthetics that could transition seamlessly between various formal and semi-formal contexts.
