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.
