"Kingfisher and Iris" is a woodblock print created in 1843 by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858). The print, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, depicts a vibrant kingfisher perched above a single iris bloom, showcasing Hiroshige's masterful use of color and detail in this captivating example of ukiyo-e, the Japanese art form of woodblock printing that was popular in the 17th to 19th centuries.
