"Horikiri Iris Garden," Hiroshige, 1856.

The Japanese village of Horikiri was famous for its flowers, many of which were sold in Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The gardens there were also a favorite destination for day trips from the city.

We don't see the actual village here, but we do get some prized irises that grew well in the marshy terrain around Horikiri. This was part of a series of 119 prints Hiroshige made of everyday scenes in Edo and the surrounding area.
