EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century colour woodblock print titled "Nanakomachi, No 21,1890" showcases the exquisite beauty of Japanese Iris, specifically Iris kaempferi. The print is part of the historical graphica collection and originates from the catalogue of The Yokohama Nursery Co. Ltd. , owned by Seitaro Arai, a renowned specialist in these native Japanese flowers. The intricate details captured in this decorative illustration are truly mesmerizing. Each large petal gracefully unfolds to reveal a burgundy tipped center adorned with delicate purple specks. The clump of irises creates a stunning display against a backdrop of sword-shaped leaves that add an elegant touch to the composition. These rhizomatous perennials symbolize Japan's rich botanical heritage and hold great cultural significance within its floral traditions. With their small petals delicately arranged around the central cluster, these irises exude timeless grace and charm. This remarkable woodblock print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable documentation of Japanese flora during the late 19th century. Its vibrant colours and meticulous attention to detail make it a true treasure for any admirer of botany or historical art.
