This michiyuki displays a sophisticated lattice framework in rich golden-orange tones, creating a geometric grid that contains alternating motifs of solid black rectangles and delicate scrolling wave patterns rendered in gray and white. This systematic arrangement reflects the influence of Art Deco sensibilities that were permeating Japanese design during this era, while maintaining the structural elegance characteristic of traditional Japanese pattern-making.
The weaving technique employed here demonstrates remarkable technical innovation, achieving effects that convincingly mimic hand embroidery through purely mechanical means. The thick silk construction not only provides the practical warmth required for winter wear but also creates a substantial surface that showcases the intricate pattern work. The contrast between the bold geometric lattice and the organic flowing motifs within each compartment creates a dynamic tension that speaks to the period's embrace of both industrial precision and natural beauty.
The lattice structure can be read as representing architectural elements or perhaps referencing traditional Japanese screen patterns, while the contained organic forms speak to the enduring cultural connection to natural phenomena.
