In Japan the iris is believed to have purifying properties and the ability to dispel evil energies and protect those who wear it. These flowers are also said to represent loyalty, a noble heart and warrior spirit, possibly due to their sword shaped leaves. The fragrant leaves are traditionally used in relaxing baths which are believed to bring good luck and instill some warrior spirit.

"Naruto Whirlpool," Hiroshige, 1856.
This is from a series of prints featuring famous sites around Japan...a sort of visual tourist guide, if you will. These were published just as Western ships arrived to open Japan up to trade, so they document a world about to change.
From the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA.

Here's a gorgeous image. It's by #Japanese printmaker #Hiroshige #Utagawa from 1856 and is called "Jūmantsubo Plain at Fukagawa Susaki" from his series of "100 Famous Views of Edo". But I've always just called it 'eagle & snow'.
I've had a poster of this woodblock print in my bedroom since 1984 & I wake up to it every morning.
Composed with such economy, to my eyes it's almost perfect.
