Today's Ikebana - Flowers from the garden
This week, the Ayame irises started blooming in our valley and garden as the last of the Hanashobu variety finished for this year. The Ayame iris is said to represent hope, friendship, and wisdom.
I love all the different varieties of irises in our valley; their fabulous colours and the intricate details of their delicate flowers are a true delight.

sometimes i think about how in two completely different genres of rpgs, two wildly different pairs of siblings end up with completely plausible themed names even though the gladiolus is technically an iris but colloqually called "sword lily"
please ignore the noct on the right lol
(names for both sibling pairs are in image descriptions!!)
despite the different etymologies i think one is as valid as the other and the names are beautiful regardless

Weekend treat: for an annual event at Nezu Museum in spring!
28/4/2023
An instructor of a course in Japanese Art talked about an annual event at Nezu Museum in spring, and it is "Irises(screen)" by Korin Ogata exhibition. Then, I was being so curious about it that I was off to this art gallery in Minami-Aoyama all the way after school.
This is known for its entrance as beautiful architecture designed by Kengo Kuma and in a lot of magazines, I remembered. Therefore, I was delighted to see it. Yet, the place appeared to be too exclusive for me, and I found elderly people being formal in their attire but living within a kilometer suitable for it. I was being a little out of place.
Having said that, I immersed myself in the exhibits/collections of the gallery, knew of Otsu-e, a folk art in 17th century in Shiga, and had fun strolling the Buddhism themed garden. I want to take my parents there one day.
