Irises

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.
