This composition is a masterclass in monochromatic depth. By using varying shades of indigo and Prussian blue, Koson creates a lush, atmospheric garden scene. The gradient (bokashi) in the background provides a misty, ethereal quality that makes the bold, architectural shapes of the iris petals feel grounded yet elegant. Koson moved from his hometown of Kanazawa to Tokyo to study under Suzuki Kason, a master of nihonga. It was from his master that he took the name "Koson".
