The irises are a variety that has golden brownish yellow top petals and purple side and bottom petals. The purple petals vary from warm purples to cool purples. All of the petals are frilly. Stems and thin yellowish green leaves complete this painting.

Ōta-no-sawa (大田ノ沢 'Ōta Marsh') is the last piece of a once vast swamp that was slowly reclaimed by the Kamo Clan (賀茂氏) for farming land long before Kyōto existed.
Since Heian times, though likely earlier, the pond has been famed for its irises (カキツバタ). #Kyoto#Japan#カキツバタ#irises#大田ノ沢
