Large, stylized yellow arrow feather (yabane) motifs dominate this bold and dynamic composition, set against a rich terracotta background. The background showcases an intricate shibori pattern of small, repeating geometric shapes, created using the kanoko( fawn spot) shibori technique. This fine patterning provides a textural contrast to the smooth, sweeping lines of the arrow feathers, adding depth and visual interest to the overall design. The shibori technique used to create both the background pattern and the arrow feather motifs demonstrates exceptional skill. The crisp edges and uniform color distribution highlight the artisan's mastery of this complex resist-dyeing method. The bold, geometric background pattern and the use of stylized, repeating motifs are characteristic of Art Deco aesthetics. The color palette, with its striking contrast between the terracotta background and the yellow yabane motifs, evokes the bold color choices often seen in modernist art.
