Item Description : This original oil painting titled "Hanashōbu" (Iris Flower) by Akio Shimizu is a captivating floral composition rendered with rich texture and vibrant color. The piece showcases three blooming irises—two in deep blue tones and one in white—set against an abstract background of earthy ochre and green hues. With expressive brushwork and thick, impasto technique, the artist creates a striking visual depth and a sense of liveliness that emanates from the canvas. Signed boldly in red "A. S" on the bottom right corner, the painting is executed on a wooden panel, with an inscription on the reverse indicating it was painted in mid-June 1980, inspired by irises observed in a park in Higashimurayama City, Tokyo.
