Young man arranging irises in a vase n.d.

This woodblock print by Utagawa Toyohiro, a leading artist of the late Edo period, depicts a young man arranging irises in a vase. The composition is vertical and emphasizes the figure's posture, creating a sense of intimacy. The use of bold lines and flat areas of color are characteristic of the ukiyo-e style, and the artist's signature can be seen in the upper right corner. This work showcases the beauty of the iris, a flower often associated with nobility and elegance in Japanese culture.
