Originally a Shin-Bijutsukai woodblock print on paper, this green ikat (kasuri) was most likely intended as a kimono textile. The fine vertical lines of the design ripple like reeds in the wind, as light weaves trellis patterns across the breathing bamboo. The design embodies the Meiji-era pursuit of modern beauty - harmony between natural form, rhythm, and refined abstraction. It speaks of a moment between old Japan and the modern world, where beauty became both pattern and philosophy: a woven work in all senses.
