Description
A dense bed of iris blooms in white, magenta, and violet fills the foreground, their pointed petals rising above bands of green foliage divided by a narrow water channel. Behind the flowers, two seated figures in dark robes rest beneath a sprawling, wide-limbed pine tree, next to a low wooden pavilion hung with round paper lanterns and a striped curtain, its silhouette merging with pale blue hills under a soft, muted sky. Hiroshi Yoshida's 1926 woodblock print "Iris Garden at Horikiri (Horikiri no shôbu)," from the series Twelve Scenes of Tokyo, was published in the Shôwa period in 1928.
