Irises 1925 - 1936

"Irises" is a woodblock print created by Japanese artist Ohara Koson between 1925 and 1936. The artwork depicts three blue irises in full bloom with long green leaves against a delicate blue and white background. Koson, known for his mastery of botanical subjects, captures the delicate beauty of the irises in detail, using subtle variations in blue and green tones. The print, now held in the Rijksmuseum, embodies the refined aesthetic of Japanese art and exemplifies the enduring popularity of floral themes in the works of Koson.
