The story behind the motif
Poster featuring Irises by the Japanese printmaker Ohara Koson, dated to the period 1925–1936. Koson is especially renowned for his bird-and-flower images, in which the forms of nature are distilled into elegant, atmospheric compositions.
Blooming irises rise against a soft background in red, white, and blue. The slender leaves and the curved forms of the flowers create a distinct vertical rhythm. The original is a color woodblock print published by Watanabe Shōzaburō, a central publisher of the modern Japanese woodblock print movement.
Artist: Ohara Koson (1877–1945) | Date: 1925–1936.
Frame not included.
