Description
One of the specialties of Ogata Gekko was the depiction of people enjoying flowers. In the current design, he shows the Iris Garden at Horikiri, with visitors strolling through it. Further away, a number of visitors can be seen around the garden. The women on the right must have visited the garden already, as evidenced by the plucked irises next to them. Their plucked flowers and closed umbrellas resonate with the open flowers and umbrellas down in the garden. The attention of the visitors is still drawn to the garden, with some pointing or turning their heads, possibly because of an egret that has just taken flight, unifying the composition.
Condition notes
The print is in very good condition, with some age toning. Two of the prints are attached, with minor loss of image. The prints are backed, and on the back there is a small note in pencil.
