The last image is arguably the most renowned iris painting in Japan, if not the world, is the glorious Kakitsubata-zu by Ogata Korin (1658-1716). 紙本金地著色燕子花図, shihonkinji chakushoku kakitsubata-zu.

The proud owner of this masterpiece, a designated National Treasure, is the Nezu Museum in Tokyo. It depicts bunches of abstracted blue Japanese irises in bloom, and their green foliage, creating a rhythmically repeating but varying pattern across the panels.
