Courtesans in an Iris Garden late 18th century Katsukawa Shunch Japanese This triptych recalls one of the most popular episodes from the tenth-century literary classic, the Ise monogatari (The Tales of Ise), a series of poems on love and journeying accompanied by brief textual notes. This episode tells of a young aristocrat who happens upon a place called Eight Bridges, where a river branches into eight channels, each spanned by a bridge. Admiring the lush growth of irises, he composes a poem of five lines, each beginning with one syllable of the Japanese word for iris, which immortalized the flower's association with the place. The poem expresses his longing for a loved one left behind in the capital:I have a beloved wife, Familiar as the skirtOf a well-worn robe, And so this distant journeyingFills my heart with grief.. Courtesans in an Iris Garden. Katsukawa Shunch (Japanese, active ca. 1783-95). Japan. late 18th century. Triptych of woodblock prints; ink and color on paper.
