EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print, titled "Yamato-Nishiki, No. 31,1890" is a true gem from the historical collection of The Yokohama Nursery Co. Ltd. of Seitaro Arai. This renowned nursery specialized in Iris kaempferi, also known as Japanese Iris, which are native to Japan. The print showcases the exquisite beauty and intricate details of these stunning flowers that have captivated botany enthusiasts for centuries. The large petals with their purple speckled centers create a mesmerizing contrast against the pure white backdrop. Each petal seems to be meticulously crafted by nature itself. The clump of irises depicted in this artwork adds a sense of abundance and vitality to the composition. Their sword-shaped leaves elegantly frame the delicate blossoms, creating a harmonious balance between strength and fragility. As we delve into this piece from the 19th-century Japanese school, we can't help but appreciate how it effortlessly combines botanical accuracy with decorative flair. It serves as both an illustration for scientific study and an artistic expression celebrating nature's wonders. This print transports us back in time when rhizomatous perennials like these irises were cherished for their ornamental value and symbolic meanings in Japanese culture. Its presence in our Historica Graphica Collection reminds us of the rich heritage behind such botanical treasures.
