Iris Fields @ Meiji Shrine: June 10, 2012

















Rainy season began in Tokyo.

Japanese people traditionally enjoy iris in this season the season. I visited Meiji Shrine’s iris fields.


Hundreds of purple, light purple and white flowers were open in the wet fields.

There are three kinds of iris flowers in the fields. They are Ayame (Iris sanguine), Hana-shobu (Iris ensata var. ensata) and Kakitsubata (Iris laevigata).
 It is easy for professionals to make difference between the three, but not for me.



The fields were made in the order of the Meiji Emperor. Many visitors enjoyed the flower.



I also walked around Meiji Shrine. There were many foreign and Japanese visitors as usual. It was also usual to see a wedding ceremony. They held a special Bonsai exhibition in the entrance space of the main shrine.
