Iris (Ayame) Coloring Page (1 of 4)

Irises decorate the waterfront during Boy's Festival and the first summer. A dignified figure has symbolized Japanese virtue since ancient times. If you take advantage of the shades of purple and paint while keeping in mind the mesh pattern of the Flowers' petals, you will get a very elegant finish. Please spend a quiet time experiencing the beauty of traditional Japanese colors while remembering the phrase, ``One day, the iris will become an iris.''
This is a coloring book that can be used for recreation, nursing care facilities, day services, and brain training for the elderly. You can print for free in A4 size.
