Notes
Toshiya includes a group of streamlined red lavender roses and blue palmette-like corollas; Arranged with increasing magnification, and in succession, they emerge from wavy black twigs, surrounded by a yellowish pink and a green color with three shades. As a very complex piece, the design reflects a lively technique, perfect drawing performance, energetic movement, and high flexibility. Many similar patterns of brocade were influenced by brocade and velvet products designed for the Ottoman court, including the brocade group, well known for its wavy branches, which had a definite influence on the design of this style of brocade.
