The print originates from the esteemed catalogue of The Yokohama Nursery Co. Ltd. , founded by Seitaro Arai, renowned for their specialization in these native Japanese flowers. The image depicts a clump of irises with striking blue petals adorned with dark veined patterns. Each blossom features large petals surrounding a delicate pink center that transitions into a mesmerizing blue interior. The intricate details and vibrant colours captured in this botanical illustration are truly remarkable. The sword-shaped leaves add an elegant touch to the overall composition, enhancing its decorative appeal.
