Description
This is a framed print, measuring 16" by 24", of the famous "Irises at Yatsuhashi" (Eight Bridges) promoting a world tour at the Art Institute of Chicago, 1996. The stately, vertical forms of irises set against an angular bridge that sweeps diagonally across both screens refer to an episode in The Ise Stories. Exiled from Kyoto after an affair with a high-ranking court lady, the story’s protagonist stops at Yatsuhashi, a place where a stream branches into eight channels, each with its own bridge. The sight of irises prompts him to compose a nostalgic love poem.
