One of a pair of magnificent panels created in the late 1800s, Meiji period. Skillfully worked, entirely by hand, silk embroidery on silk. The design of each panel is a wonderful example of asymmetry, at its best, flowing and harmonious. A natural perfection, at which the Japanese excel. This panel depicts a tumbling mass of Cherry blossom. Home to a small colony of birds.  Stunning Hand Embroidery
