This beautifully hand-embroidered textile art piece captures a tranquil Japanese garden scene with a red arched bridge, traditional stone walkways, and cherry blossom trees in full bloom. Created circa 1940s by the English first wife of “Grandpa Wray,” as noted on the back, this piece is a unique cultural fusion—an English artist’s tribute to Japanese aesthetics during the mid-20th century. The embroidery is housed under glass in a slim black frame with gold inner trim and a light wood base.
A charming historical artifact, it reflects both the artistic skill of its maker and the popularity of Japanese-influenced decor during the early 20th century. Ideal for collectors of textile art, vintage Japanophilia, or World War II-era memorabilia.
