Description
A kingfisher with deep blue-black plumage and a rust-colored breast perches low amid tall green iris leaves, its long bill pointed downward toward the water. Three dark purple iris blooms with touches of yellow rise among the blade-like leaves against a pale blue ground that shades to soft pink at the top edge. Hiratsuka Un'ichi, "Kingfisher and Irises," 1927, woodblock print, ink and color on paper.
