Irises! An absolutely divine exhibition of Japanese folding screens (on gold-foiled paper) from the Edo period (17th century) featured iris screens and others with summer flowers, by a master screen artist Ogata Korin. They were stunning, glowing, serene and beautiful. The screens are considered a National Treasure and are in the collection of the Nezu Museum. The museum gardens were as stunning (even in the rain) as the screens and had irises too. Iris by a pond! Iris surrounded by maples! So Japanese! So Beautiful.
