Cho-Hiyen, No. 91,1890 - A Captivating Snapshot of Japanese Iris
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This colour woodblock print from the late 19th century showcases the exquisite beauty of Cho-Hiyen, No. 91 - a variety of Iris kaempferi native to Japan. The Yokohama Nursery Co. Ltd. , owned by Seitaro Arai and renowned for specializing in these stunning flowers, featured this particular iris in their catalogue. The print depicts a clump of irises with large petals gracefully unfolding amidst vibrant foliage. Each delicate blossom is meticulously illustrated with intricate details that bring them to life on paper. The sword-shaped leaves add an elegant touch to the composition while emphasizing the botanical accuracy captured by the skilled Japanese school artist. With its historical significance and decorative appeal, this floral illustration serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and horticultural expertise prevalent during this era in Japan's rich cultural heritage. Notably rhizomatous perennials, Japanese irises like Cho-Hiyen are known for their small petals surrounding larger ones, creating a visually striking contrast that further enhances their allure. As part of our Historica Graphica Collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate nature's wonders through artistry and gain insight into botany's intersection with aesthetic expression throughout history.
