Japanese Iris soft blue

When I visited Toyko, many years ago, I visited the Iris Garden at Meiji Jingu Shrine, Shibuya. It was super beautiful with the most Irises I have ever seen. There were many photographers and artists, photographing and painting the flowers - quite lovely. In the trees, beside the large pond, was a beautiful tea house with Geisha ladies to serve the tea ceremony. In a glade beside the gardens was a little shop where every item they sold featured Irises. I still have the Iris vase I bought at that shop.
