Irissen in volle bloei 1858

"Irissen in volle bloei" (Irises in Full Bloom), created by Utagawa Kunisada in 1858, is a woodblock print depicting three women walking through a garden illuminated by lanterns. The print is a triptych, meaning it is composed of three panels. The women are dressed in colorful kimonos and are surrounded by iris flowers. The image captures the beauty of a Japanese garden at night, and the women's elegant figures add a sense of grace to the scene. Kunisada was a renowned artist known for his ukiyo-e prints, which depicted the everyday life of Edo-period Japan. This work is a testament to his skill and his ability to capture the essence of Japanese beauty.
