Hiroshige Horikiri Iris Garden Japanese Birthday Card

✦ Why We Love It A field of irises, painted in 1857. Still stopping people in their tracks today. Hiroshige Horikiri Iris Garden Japanese Birthday Card Some birthday cards say happy birthday. This one says something more. Utagawa Hiroshige painted the Horikiri Iris Garden in 1857 — a sweep of purple and green irises so vivid and alive that it became one of his most beloved works. We've reproduced it here on a beautiful 250gsm card, printed with soy-based inks on sustainably sourced paper, because a card this special deserves to be made properly. It arrives with a plain soft white envelope, 'Happy Birthday' printed inside, and the kind of quiet elegance that makes the person receiving it feel genuinely thought of. Perfect on its own, or tucked inside one of our Japanese gift boxes. ✦ The Artist Behind the Card 歌川広重 (Utagawa Hiroshige, 1797–1858) was one of Japan's greatest ukiyo-e masters — the art of the "floating world". His landscapes captured nature with a stillness and beauty that influenced artists from Monet to Van Gogh. The Horikiri Iris Garden (堀切の花菖蒲), from his celebrated One Hundred Famous Views of Edo series, 1857, is a masterclass in colour and calm. Sending this card is sending a little piece of Japanese art history. ✦ What's Included 1 × Hiroshige Horikiri Iris Garden Japanese Birthday Card 1 × Plain soft white envelope 'Happy Birthday' printed inside Printed on 250gsm sustainably sourced card stock Soy-based inks ✦ Why Shop With Tokyo Gallery?
