Purple and white irises fill the lower half of the sheet, drawn so close that their petals are cut by the frame, and beyond them a flooded garden at Horikiri, east of Edo, opens out to a pale sky where tiny visitors cross the walkways between the beds. Hiroshige published the design in the fifth month of 1857 for One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, in the summer section of the series. The Horikiri nurseries were famous for breeding irises and drew crowds each June; the garden still exists. The near-far composition, with a flower in the foreground as large as a tree, was much admired in Europe. The impression reproduced here is in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Horikiri Iris Garden in the public domain?

Yes. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Impressions in many collections; this one from the Statens Museum for Kunst.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Horikiri Iris Garden painted, and in what medium?

Horikiri Iris Garden dates from 1857 and was made in woodblock print (nishiki-e), ink and colour on paper; the original measures approx. 37 × 25 cm (ōban).

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
